Robalo R200

Small boats with lower sticker prices are supposed to be bare-bones outfits, designed to whet buyers’ appetites for boating before they move up. But what if an “entry level” boat is already chock full of standard amenities? It would look a lot like the Robalo R200, a small boat packing a lot inside.
The R200 is a center console designed to make the family-minded fisherman (or his wife) choose it rather than a comparably sized bowrider. It offers horseshoe-shape bow seating with removable cushions. You don’t have to remove them to access the storage underneath, thanks to the easy-access latch system. The compartments are insulated and drain overboard, and serve as fish boxes or coolers. The recessed bow rail and side-mounted bow cleats keep hardware out of the way.
I consider the standard leaning post at the helm another big plus. Many builders of entry-level center consoles equip the boat with standard twin pedestal seats. The anodized aluminum post allows the driver the option to sit or stand, harbors a cooler underneath and sports the essential aft grab rail.

I remember when we last visited our friends in Dublin last year, we would have traveled for all across the continent to enjoy some boat rides along the shores of the big city. That particular vacation was unforgettable to us. Sailing on the water gives you such a relaxing sensation, yet a clarifying one.
