2017 Robalo R180 Center Console

The 2017 Robalo R180 is an 18-foot center console built on a fiberglass modified-vee hull reinforced with Kevlar and a poured composite transom. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Yamaha engine, it carries 50 gallons of fuel and accommodates up to eight people. The hull features stainless steel bow grab rails and a self-bailing cockpit with a 15-gallon live well.

The layout centers on fishing capability and versatility. Twin aft seats with heavy-duty hardware fold down to create a casting platform, with storage access beneath both seats. The bow holds an insulated storage compartment with 25-gallon capacity. Rod holders are mounted on the gunwales, with two-rod storage on each side of the console and six additional holders on the custom T-Top. A telescopic boarding ladder and raw water washdown outlet complete the functional design.

Helm and electronics include hydraulic steering, a digital gauge cluster, a Garmin 741XS color touchscreen GPS, and a stereo with Bluetooth. A Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with digital remote is fitted. The T-Top includes spreader and anchor lights. A brushed aluminum ski tow and premium hardware are standard upgrades.

The boat comes with a Coyote brand aluminum single-axle trailer fitted with new tires, disc brakes, submersible LED lighting, a swing-away tongue for compact storage, a spare tire, and side guides. Dry weight is 2,600 pounds, with a draft of 11 inches (up) and 27 inches (down).
