Robalo R230: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Arlo R2 30 is a versatile 23-foot center console boat designed for both offshore fishing and family outings. With an overall length of 23 feet, an 8-foot 6-inch beam, and a draft of 19 inches when trimmed up, this boat balances comfort and performance. Its empty weight is approximately 4,700 pounds, with a tested weight around 5,894 pounds including two passengers and half a fuel tank. Powered by a Yamaha 250 outboard engine, the R2 30 offers a blend of speed, efficiency, and ease of handling.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The bow area of the R2 30 features comfortable seating with silicone-based upholstery, chosen for its durability and resistance to mold and mildew compared to traditional vinyl. Forward-facing removable backrests enhance comfort underway, complemented by a forward-facing seat at the console front. Below the seating, paddle latches provide easy access to a large fish box equipped with a Yeti-style screw-in drain, highlighting the boat's premium hardware such as stainless steel struts and tension hinges. Surrounding the bow seating are sturdy grab rails, cushioned backrests, integrated audio speakers, cup holders, and a deep storage locker suitable for motor batteries. A notable design element is the forward entry head within the console, offering spacious access through a wide door rather than a narrow side entry. Inside the console, an optional head, stainless steel port light, and overhead lighting are installed. The bow also includes holders for a Danforth-style anchor and keepers to secure it, with a recommendation to install a pop-up anchor cleat for frequent anchoring.
Helm and Cockpit Layout
The helm station is equipped with a curved tempered glass windshield that resists fading and maintains clarity. Central to the dashboard are a Yamaha Command Link screen and a 12-inch Simrad display, both flush-mounted on an acrylic surface. Flanking these are stainless steel backlit switches with corresponding fuses, a Clarion head unit, USB-A and wireless phone charging capabilities, a 12-volt outlet, and dual cup holders adjacent to a sturdy, adjustable stainless steel steering wheel. The helm seating features premium upholstery with flip-up armrests, two bolsters, and dual footrest positions, complemented by a color-matched anti-fatigue mat. Overhead, the oversized T-top provides ample shade, finished on the underside with a dark blue gel coat to reduce glare. The T-top supports include an electronics box, spreader lights, and four rod holders. Additional rod holders are located on the leaning post and gunwales, with padded bolsters and tow rails enhancing angler comfort during fishing activities. A custom Bravado-branded cooler is securely fastened beneath the leaning post, preventing movement while underway.
Fishing and Utility Features
The R2 30 is well-equipped for fishing with a lighted and insulated live well designed to keep bait healthy in warm conditions. The boat’s design allows for easy conversion of the bow seating area into a lounge space by simply flipping down seats. Maintenance access is thoughtfully engineered, with a hatch beneath the rear seat providing convenient entry to batteries, bilge pumps, fuel and water separators, and a manual fuel pump primer bulb. A sump helps maintain bilge cleanliness, and a high-water float switch alarm enhances safety. Battery placement under the hatch simplifies replacement. The swim platform includes a security door that can be secured to contain pets or children, and when stowed, it recesses to preserve deck space. The transom features a freshwater shower for rinsing off after outings, and the battery switch and breakers are discreetly located near the swim platform for easy access.
Power and Performance
The R2 30 is powered by a Yamaha 250 outboard motor, which achieved a maximum of 5,800 RPM during testing, propelling the boat to a top speed of 46 miles per hour. The optimal cruising speed is approximately 26.8 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, delivering fuel efficiency of about 1.4 miles per gallon. With a 90-gallon fuel tank, this allows for a cruising range of roughly 130 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The boat accelerates quickly, reaching planing speed in 4.6 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, demonstrating responsive and agile handling.
Optional Features and Accessories
The manufacturer offers a range of options to enhance the R2 30’s functionality and convenience. A battery charger is recommended to maintain both the cold cranking and house batteries fully charged, providing reliable power management. Buyers can choose between a 9-inch or 12-inch Simrad display, with the primary difference being screen size rather than functionality. For anchoring needs, it is advised to equip the boat with an anchor and chain suitable for the intended area of use, with two anchors recommended for beaching scenarios. Additional options allow customization for family cruising and entertaining purposes, adding versatility at a reasonable cost. The boat comes standard with a tandem-axle trailer, and an optional spare tire is available for added preparedness.
Conclusion
The Arlo R2 30 presents a well-rounded package for anglers and families seeking a reliable and comfortable center console boat. Its thoughtful design, premium materials, and practical features support both fishing and leisure activities. The Yamaha 250 outboard provides strong performance with efficient cruising capabilities, while the boat’s layout and accessories enhance usability and maintenance. Overall, the R2 30 is a capable vessel that balances performance, comfort, and utility for a variety of boating experiences.
