Robalo R222: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Robalo R222ES is a 21-foot 6-inch center console boat designed to serve as a versatile platform for both family outings and fishing activities. The ES designation stands for Expanded Seating, emphasizing enhanced comfort and usability for families while maintaining fishing functionality. With a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 34 inches, the boat weighs approximately 3,700 pounds empty, with a test weight of 4,255 pounds including fuel and passengers.

Power and Performance

Powered by a single 200 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engine paired with a 15 M 14 1/4 Reliance propeller, the R222ES achieved a top speed of 43.4 miles per hour at 6,100 RPM during testing. Its most efficient cruising speed was 21.4 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, delivering a fuel burn of 5.3 gallons per hour and an economical range of approximately 330 statute miles with a 10 percent fuel reserve. The boat features Robalo's Hydra-Lift Hollow hull design, which includes a rounded keel, two running strakes, and a slightly reversed chine entry. This design facilitated a quick planing time of 2.8 seconds, with acceleration to 20 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 7.7 seconds. The vessel exhibited a stable 5-degree bow-high cruise attitude and demonstrated excellent handling with minimal bow rise and no chine walk, even when crossing wakes. While hard turns caused some prop ventilation, normal operation remained unaffected.

Fishing Features

The R222ES is well-equipped for fishing, beginning with a 10-inch step up to an elevated casting platform that allows full walk-around access. The platform is surrounded by a wraparound bolster providing comfort during fishing activities. An optional filler can convert this area into a full walk-around deck. Storage includes two 30-gallon fish boxes with overboard drains and additional central storage. The hatches utilize tension hinges and lift-and-lock latches for ease of use. Padded bolsters extend around the cockpit, ranging from 21 to 26 inches in height, enhancing comfort when fighting fish. The boat offers 13 rod holders distributed along the cap rails, leaning post, and optional T-top, with additional rod storage beneath the gunwales featuring padded protection for reels. Safety is enhanced by stainless steel tow rails. The aft bench seat conceals a 16-gallon live well, a dedicated five-gallon bucket holder, and extra storage, with battery controls and a charger conveniently located nearby. The cockpit is designed for easy cleaning with two-inch deck drains connected to hoses for efficient washdown.

Helm and Controls

The helm station features a fiberglass console topped with an acrylic windshield. It includes a center-mounted Ritchey compass flanked by padded, self-draining recessed areas. Space is allocated for an optional Garmin 741 display. Twin Yamaha CommandLink gauges with stainless steel bezels flank the console, accompanied by toggle switches with circuit breakers, an accessory plug, MP3 and USB ports, two drink holders, and a Clarion stereo system. The steering wheel is center-mounted on a tilt base, with Yamaha engine controls positioned to the right, and an optional steering knob is recommended for enhanced maneuverability. Storage options include both open and enclosed compartments. The helm can be sheltered by either a stainless steel-framed optional T-top or a fiberglass hardtop, both featuring full-length grab handles and bolted deck mounts that allow 20 inches of side deck space. The T-top also offers an optional electronics box. The leaning post includes a double-wide seat with individual flip-up bolsters.

Family and Comfort Features

The R222ES’s family-friendly design centers on expanded seating across the transom with a fixed bench seat measuring five feet five inches wide, positioned close to the leaning post for secure bracing. A stainless steel grab handle spans the seat back, and beneath it lies a pull-out tray housing a 72-quart carry-on cooler, which can be topped with an optional cushion. Swim platforms are located on both port and starboard sides, with the starboard platform featuring a concealed three-step reboarding ladder. Removable seat backs can be installed on both sides of the bow to create comfortable seating in combination with the forward console seat, forming a conversational area. An optional table fits into the center and can be lowered to convert the space into a sun pad with a filler cushion. Safety is enhanced by stainless steel grab rails and a 21-inch cockpit depth at the bow. Inside the console, there is ample space for a standard porta-potty with an option to upgrade to an electric head, complete with a grab handle for door closure.

Additional Features and Conclusion

The R222ES is equipped with practical features such as an anchor locker forward with anchor keepers and a molded notch in the gel coat for the rode, along with pull-up cleats on both sides. Courtesy lighting throughout the boat supports nighttime use. Upscale touches include a stainless steel bow scuff plate recessed into the stem and a stainless steel rub rail insert. The trailer is fitted with a dual-speed winch featuring an adjustable clutch mechanism. Overall, the Robalo R222ES effectively combines comfort, utility, and performance, making it a well-rounded center console boat suitable for both family outings and serious fishing excursions.
