The Robalo R300 , 29-feet, 2-inches long and 10-feet, 6-inches wide, combines tournament level fishing appointments with a wide array of family features. A VacuFlush Porcelain Marine Head is housed in the center console along with a sink and pull-out shower. Center console seating contains a 32-quart cooler with a large hatch just forward that opens to a deep floor storage area. The versatile bow area converts to a casting platform, sun lounge or a dinette table with U-shaped seating which has another 55-gallon cooler built in. Additional seating in the stern folds up-out of the way of angling.
Bow and stern fishboxes hold over 162 gallons and two multi-outlet livewells, 25 and 50 gallons each, both have plex lids and bait soothing blue interiors along with LED lights. Eight stainless steel rod holders in the gunnels and 10 horizontal rod holders are standard. Thick bolster cushions line the self-bailing cockpit.
At the transom there is a walk thru door leading to the integrated outboard bracket. To the right of the door, the stern seating lifts up to access all of the systems for easy maintenance.
Back up at the helm are two molded seats that hold you in place with side wrap around cushions and seat bases that swing up to form a leaning bolster. Visibility is fantastic over the top of the console in either position for those long runs which you will have plenty of fuel for with a 300-gallon capacity. This flagship of the Robalo line carries a 700 horsepower rating.
