HERE'S A SUMMARY OF ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ROBALO'S R272:
Key Specifications
- Length Overall: 27'4"
- Beam: 9'6"
- Dry Weight: ~7,000 lbs
- Fuel Capacity: 180 gallons
- Hull Deadrise: 23°
- Maximum Horsepower: 500 HP (twin 250s)
Performance with Twin Yamaha 250s
The twin 250 HP setup is considered the preferred power package for the R272.
Expected performance:
- Top speed around 55-60 mph, depending on load and conditions.
- Strong hole shot and mid-range acceleration.
- Yamaha testing reported 0-30 mph in approximately 6.8 seconds with twin F250s.
- Cruises comfortably in the mid-30 mph range while maintaining good fuel efficiency for a boat of this size.
Ride Quality
One of the R272's biggest strengths is its ride:
- The 23-degree deep-V hull handles rough water well.
- Frequently described as a dry ride, keeping spray down when running in chop.
- Stable for trolling, drifting, and family cruising.
- Kevlar-reinforced hull construction adds durability and confidence offshore.
Fishing Features
The R272 was designed as a serious fishing platform:
- Large cockpit with plenty of room aft.
- Transom livewell.
- Large fish boxes.
- Multiple rod holders and rod storage locations.
- Raw-water washdown.
- Side entry/dive door for bringing in large fish or easier dock access.
Family and Cruising Comfort
Unlike some hard-core fishing boats, the R272 converts well for family use:
- Comfortable bow seating.
- Enclosed head compartment.
- Integrated hardtop and windshield provide excellent weather protection.
- Fold-away transom seating for entertaining.
- Large hardtop shade coverage. [robalo.com], [fishtalkmag.com]
Build Quality
Robalo has a reputation as a solid mid-to-upper-tier production builder. Owners frequently praise:
- Heavy-duty hardware.
- Robust hinges and latches.
- Sturdy hardtop structure.
- Well-engineered integrated windshield/console design.
Potential Considerations
- At 7,000+ lbs dry, it's a substantial boat and requires a capable tow vehicle and trailer.
- Fuel burn with twin 250s is naturally higher than smaller center consoles.
- While highly regarded, some boaters place premium brands such as EdgeWater, Regulator, and Pursuit a tier above in fit and finish, though often at significantly higher purchase prices.
Bottom Line
The 2023 Robalo R272 with twin Yamaha 250s is an excellent all-around offshore center console. Its biggest strengths are:
- Smooth, dry offshore ride
- Strong performance with the Yamaha 250 package
- Versatile fishing and family layout
- Durable construction
- Good value compared with many premium competitors
For Great Lakes use on Lake Michigan out of St. Joseph, it is a capable platform for salmon fishing, cruising, and nearshore/offshore excursions when conditions are appropriate, offering a good balance of comfort and seaworthiness.
