There has always been a sizeable gap in terms of style, comfort, and sportiness between a luxury bowrider and a boots-and-all fishing machine. Boating life is usually a compromise for families looking for the best of both worlds.

Many manufacturers have attempted to solve the dilemma, and some have come close to getting it right, but US boating giant Robalo has taken line honors with its R227.

The Robalo theme is “Go beyond the horizon,” the R227 invites you to do just that.

This is a boat that will see you and your mates take an early-morning fishing expedition to that distant offshore hot spot, come home with the kill tank full of fish, give the interior a quick clean to spruce up the fully molded liner and load the family in for a great day of watersports and exploration. Come evening, its beautiful presentation will turn heads as you motor into the waterfront.

The R227 is a big, beamy dual console with loads of room inside, a full-bodied, deep vee, and a very efficient 21° hull underneath. Its user-friendly layout combines comfort, practicality, and function. I know many old-hat fishermen who will scoff at the idea of an open bow on a fishing boat, but I say wake up and smell the roses—boat design has changed just as much as fishing methods.

This is a 2008 Robalo R227 Dual Console that has been well maintained by its owner and comes with several extras to sweeten the deal.
