As a lover of fishing and a fan of quality boats, I am always on the lookout for a vessel with unique features. In my quest, I recently had the opportunity to review the 2022 Robalo Boat Dual Console Series R227, and I must say, it is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. This fiberglass fish category boat is definitely a class apart. Right from its beautiful design and exterior to its innovative on-board features, it captures one's attention.
To kick things off, the first thing that strikes you about the Robalo R227 is its eye-pleasing exterior colors and graphics, highlighted by a striking fish hook graphic. The hull and deck are covered with a premium white gel coat, which adds a touch of class to the boat. The quality speaks for itself, and as a bonus, it is easily noticeable that convenience and style go hand in hand in this model.
When it comes to power, the boat boasts a stainless-steel prop that complements the overall aesthetic while ensuring enduring performance. Furthermore, the battery system features a crossover switch and an isolator to maintain the house battery, ensuring uninterrupted, hassle-free operation. In terms of steering, the SeaStar Tilt Hydraulic Steering offers smooth and easy control, which is always a plus, especially for long fishing trips.
The boat's console is efficiently designed with an enclosed head compartment with a lockable door, incandescent lighting, and a Porta Pottie. What's impressive is its digital gauges and electric horn; the brand does not compromise on the practical functionality of the boat.
What stands out the most about the R227 is the generous cockpit space. The boat features a 20-gallon livewell equipped with LED lighting and blue gelcoat finish. And that's not all; other notable features include 23-gallon fish boxes on the deck, a 30-gallon fish box under the port lounge seat, cockpit cooler with overboard drain, and plenty of storage options. Whether you are on a leisurely fishing trip or enjoying an adventurous excursion, these features cater to all your needs.
The cockpit also comes with LED courtesy lights, stainless steel rod holders and grab rails, an ultra-comfort helm seat with flip-up bolster, a transom door for easy access, and much more. One cannot help but admire the thought that has gone into making this boat a perfect companion for a fishing enthusiast.
Now, let's talk about safety and durability. This is where Robalo has focused on, integrating an automatic bilge pump switch, sturdy rub rail with stainless steel insert, Kevlar reinforced hull, and a fuel/water separator (for Yamaha engines only) into its design, proving their commitment towards quality and safety.
In conclusion, this fiberglass fish boat proves once again why Robalo is a trusted brand among boating enthusiasts. The Robalo Boat Dual Console Series R227 2022 delivers a unique blend of style, comfort, and durability that assures an excellent on-water experience. This boat is worth every penny and delivers an exceptional value that aligns with the MSRP of $83,530.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
