Spending time on the water for any fishing enthusiast would be incomplete without what I would describe as the perfect companion - the 2022 Robalo Boat Explorer Series R242EX. This is not just a boat but a work of art designed to blend performance, style, fishability, and comfort in remarkable proportions.
What immediately captures your attention is the premium white gel coat on hull and deck that gives the boat a stunning look beyond the usual. The accompanying exterior fish hook graphic adds an exquisite touch that reminds one of the boat's primary purpose — to hook and bring in those precious fishes.
The 2022 Robalo Boat Explorer Series R242EX goes far beyond just a beautiful exterior. It brings a host of excellent features both within and outside. For one, it is powered by a stainless steel prop which guarantees smooth navigation and movement while you enjoy your time on the water.
The top of the boat boasts of a durable shipping cover to keep the boat in perfect condition even when not in use. Ensuring navigator convenience is a priority, and that is why it comes with a 12V DC Receptacle on the dash, digital gauges, lighted compass, voltage sensing relay, excellent stereos system and trim tabs with indicator. Nowhere could one find such a combination of tech in a fishing boat than on this beauty.
Yet, the fun doesn't stop there. In the console, the Robalo Boat R242EX offers an entry from the forward side, a fiberglass console door, a head aft closeout with storage, 36-gallon bow fish boxes and a useful storage capacity on top of the console with drains amongst others. What could offer more space and comfort?
The cockpit experience is extraordinary too. This beast offers oversize battery and pump compartments, premium vinyl with stain-resistant topcoat, self-bailing cockpit, and horizontal tubed rod storage among other great features.
Beyond the comfort, the utility functions of this masterpiece are just as impressive, with an anchor rope and chain locker on the bow, electric horn, encapsulated reserve flotation, a four-step telescoping boarding ladder amongst others. The 2022 Robalo Boat Explorer Series R242EX is, without a doubt, a premium choice for any fishing or boating enthusiast.
The R242EX also comes with a full fiberglass structural system and Kevlar reinforced hull that speaks of durability and longevity. You would not have to worry about frequent maintenance or replacement, thereby guaranteeing you value for your money.
Although the Robalo Boat Series R242EX offers a sizeable investment, the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) comes in at $115,681 while the invoice price is at $80,977. However, the purchase is a worthy one that offers immense value.
In the sea of boats, the Robalo is a stand-out masterpiece designed for fishing comfort and style. You cannot go wrong with this top-notch boat model from Robalo; a leading name in the boat manufacturing industry.

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
