How much does a used Robalo R160 cost?

Right now US Marine Connection shows 3 approved, priced Robalo R160 listings asking between $40,770 and $44,850, with a median asking price of $44,640. Those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. All three have photos, so you can see the boats before you call. Keep in mind the listed examples are late-model boats, which is part of why the range sits where it does.

What years of the R160 are for sale?

The current R160 listings are 2026 and 2027 model years, so this is a late-model group rather than a spread of older used boats. Two of the three listed are 2027 models and one is a 2026. If you are looking for an older R160, nothing in that age range is listed at the moment, so the three on site now are what is available.

How many hours is typical on a used R160?

None of the three R160 listings on US Marine Connection states an engine hour figure, so there is no typical number we can quote honestly. What the listings do show is model year, 2026 and 2027, plus photos and the outboard fitted, a Yamaha F90LB2 on the two described boats. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly and request a readout from the engine gauge.

What should I check before buying a used R160?

Even on 2026 and 2027 boats, do the basics. Confirm the Yamaha F90LB2 outboard's hours and service history, and run it under load. Check the hull and gelcoat for impact damage, look in the bilge and under the console for water or corrosion, and test the pumps, lights and gauges. One listing includes a standard aluminum trailer, so inspect its tires, bearings, lights and frame too. Finally, verify titles for both boat and trailer.

What features come on the R160?

It is a center console, and the listings describe a 16-foot, roughly 16-foot-4 layout built for easy handling, trailering and storage. The two 2027 boats are powered by a Yamaha F90LB2 four-stroke outboard, and one is paired with a standard aluminum trailer. The 2026 listing highlights a Hydro Lift multi-angle hull. Beyond that, the descriptions do not itemize electronics or canvas, so ask the seller what each specific boat carries.

Is the R160 good for family days on the water?

The listings point that way. One describes the R160 as a center console for anglers, families and first-time boat owners, used for cruising the Intracoastal or spending the day on the water around Miami and Biscayne Bay. Another frames it as a compact, easy-to-handle 16-footer for sandbar afternoons and casting a line in Charlotte Harbor. Nothing in the descriptions positions it as an offshore boat, so treat it as a protected-water day boat.

Where can I find a R160 for sale near me?

All three R160 listings on US Marine Connection are in Florida. Two are in North Miami and one is in Fort Myers, so the current supply is split between the southeast coast and the southwest coast. Each listing has photos. If you are outside Florida, there is nothing listed closer at the moment, so those three are the ones to look at.

How does the R160 compare to the R180 or the R250?

By the numbers on site, the R160 is the entry point. Its 3 listings ask $40,770 to $44,850, median $44,640, in 2026 and 2027 model years. The R180 shows 4 listings from $37,895 to $58,205, median $53,432, across 2020 to 2026, so it spans older boats and higher asks. The R250 is a big step up, 5 listings from $151,537 to $167,207, median $161,357, years 2025 to 2026.
