Robalo is throwing its gauntlet down in front of builders of center consoles with its new-for-2014 R222. She is the largest boat in the Robalo fleet with a nationally advertised price -- $39,765 with a Yamaha F150XA outboard, sans trailer. She has a front-opening head compartment, 15 gallon livewell in the leaning post, two 30-gallon fish boxes, and a clever foldaway transom seat that lifts up to access the electrical system and pumps. Like all Robalos, she has decent bow flare and a relatively high freeboard, which we like.
