Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Robalo R230, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows 3 approved, priced Robalo R230 listings with asking prices from $95,000 to $109,025, and a median asking price of $105,200. Those are asking prices set by sellers, not recorded sale prices, so the final number on any given boat can differ. All three currently listed have photos, and the spread is fairly tight because the years on offer are all recent.
The R230 listings on the site span model years 2023 through 2026. With only three priced boats live at the moment, that is a narrow, late-model group rather than a deep used market. One example is a 2023 center console with a Yamaha 250 VMAX SHO, and another is a 2025 with a Yamaha F250XCB outboard. Availability changes as boats are listed and removed.
Only one of the three R230 descriptions states engine hours, and it lists 55 hours on a 2023 boat with a Yamaha 250 VMAX SHO. That is a single data point, so there is no meaningful typical figure to quote here. For the other two listings, hours are not published, so you would need to confirm them directly with the seller before making any judgment about use.
Since these are 2023 to 2026 center consoles, focus on the outboard: ask for hours, service records and a compression or diagnostic check, because only one listing states hours at all. Test the live wells, pumps, rod storage and all electronics under power. Check the hull bottom, transom and stringers for stress, and inspect rigging and wiring for salt corrosion. One boat includes a trailer, so inspect its frame, bearings, lights and tires too.
Based on the listings themselves, the R230 is a 23-foot center console with an 8.6-foot beam, powered by a single Yamaha 250 HP outboard. Descriptions mention the Hydro Lift hull, large live wells and ample rod storage. One 2023 example is described as loaded with upgrades and comes with a trailer included, and one boat is finished in Atlas Blue. Anything beyond that should be confirmed with the seller.
The listings lean that way. One description calls the 2025 R230 a 23-foot center console built for serious anglers, citing Hydro Lift hulls, large live wells and ample rod storage, and mentions chasing sailfish, mahi-mahi and tarpon around Miami Beach, Government Cut and Islamorada. Another notes fishing offshore or cruising with family. That is what the sellers say; match the layout and equipment to your own fishing before deciding.
All three priced R230 listings on US Marine Connection are in North Miami, Florida. That means there is no geographic spread to compare at the moment, so buyers outside South Florida would be looking at a trip or arranging their own transport. Each of the three has photos, and inventory shifts over time, so the cities represented can change as new boats come in.
On price and year, the site shows clear separation. The R230 asks $95,000 to $109,025 across 2023 to 2026 boats. The five R250 listings run $151,537 to $167,207, median $161,357, in 2025 to 2026 years. The four R180 listings are much lower at $37,895 to $58,205, median $53,432, spanning 2020 to 2026. Larger siblings like the R300, R317 and R360 climb well above that. Specs beyond the R230 listings are not published here.
Answers are written from approved, priced listings on US Marine Connection— asking prices, not sale prices — and from what the dealers' own descriptions say. Figures in the strip above are live; the answers refresh as inventory changes.
