Question 1

How much does a used Robalo R180 cost?

Accepted Answer

Right now US Marine Connection shows four approved, priced R180 listings, asking anywhere from $37,895 to $58,205, with a median asking price of $53,432. Remember those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. The spread mostly tracks model year, since the group runs from a 2020 preowned boat up to current-year hulls. All four listings include photos, so you can see the condition before you call.

Question 2

What years of the R180 are for sale?

Accepted Answer

The current listings span 2020 through 2026. That includes a 2020 preowned R180 with a Yamaha F115XB outboard, a 2025 with the same F115XB, and a 2026 rigged with the Yamaha F115XB2. With only four boats listed, the selection is small, so if a particular year matters to you it is worth checking back as inventory changes rather than assuming every year in that range is available.

Question 3

How many hours is typical on a used R180?

Accepted Answer

None of the four R180 listings on US Marine Connection states an engine hour figure, so there is no honest way to quote a typical number here. What the listings do tell you is model year, engine, and location, plus photos. If hours matter to you, and on a used boat they should, ask the seller directly for a current reading and any service records before you go further.

Question 4

What should I check before buying a used R180?

Accepted Answer

With years spanning 2020 to 2026, condition varies a lot. Since no listing gives engine hours, get the hour meter reading and service history on the Yamaha F115XB outboard, and have a mechanic compression test and sea trial it. On a center console this size, check the transom and stringers for soft spots, look under the aft seats where the listings mention storage and access to onboard systems, and test the bilge pump, wiring and steering.

Question 5

What features come on the R180?

Accepted Answer

Based on the descriptions, this is an 18-foot center console, listed at 18 feet 4 inches in one ad, with a shallow draft and open deck space. It has twin aft seats with heavy duty hardware that fold away for fishing, with storage under both seats that also gives access to onboard systems for servicing. There is a telescopic boarding ladder for swimming, diving or wakeboarding. Power on the listed boats is a Yamaha F115XB or F115XB2 outboard.

Question 6

Is the R180 good for fishing?

Accepted Answer

The listings lean that way. They describe superior stability and deck space, a shallow draft, and aft seats that fold away so the cockpit opens up for casting. Sellers point to inshore work around Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, Key Biscayne and Stiltsville. One description also calls it a good fit for new boaters. Nothing in the listings supports offshore use, so treat it as an inshore and nearshore center console.

Question 7

Where can I find a R180 for sale near me?

Accepted Answer

All four R180 listings on US Marine Connection are in Florida. Three are in North Miami and one is in Fort Myers, so the current inventory is concentrated on the South and Southwest Florida coasts. Each listing has photos, the model year, and the outboard fitted. If you are outside Florida, the R180 count is small, so it is worth rechecking as new boats are listed.

Question 8

How does the R180 compare to the R250 or the R270?

Accepted Answer

Mostly by size and price. The R180 is the small center console here, an 18-footer asking $37,895 to $58,205 across 2020 to 2026 boats. The five R250 listings run $151,537 to $167,207 with a median of $161,357, years 2025 to 2026. The three R270s ask $195,510 to $234,980, median $234,013, years 2025 to 2026. The listings do not give specs that let us compare ride or layout beyond that, so judge those in person.
