2017 Robalo R242

This 2017 Robalo R242 Center Console combines serious offshore fishability with versatile, comfortable family cruising amenities. Powered by a Yamaha FourStroke outboard upgraded with Nizpro tuning to 332 HP with only 84.4 total hours, this vessel offers exceptional hole-shot, responsive mid-range cruise efficiency, and plenty of top-end performance.

At the helm, the electronics package features twin Garmin touchscreen GPS/chartplotters, a Garmin VHF radio, a helm compass, USB/12V charging ports, and a Fusion Bluetooth audio system. Maneuverability and ride trim are dialed in with trim tabs, while anchoring is made effortless thanks to an electric anchor windlass controlled directly from the dash.

The deck layout is engineered for both hardcore tournament days and sandbar weekends. Anglers will appreciate the dedicated livewell, baitwell, flush-mount rod/cupholders, and raw/freshwater washdowns. For family comfort, the bow features standard seating with an add-on insert cushion converting the forward area into a full sunbed lounge. The walk-in console houses an enclosed pump-out marine head, complemented on deck by a transom freshwater shower, boarding ladder, dual-battery setup with battery charger and selector switch, and an automatic bilge pump system.
