Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Robalo R257, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows 5 approved, priced R257 listings running from $157,185 to $188,868, with a median asking price of $186,963. Those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. Worth noting these are all late-model boats rather than older used examples, and all 5 listings include photos, so you can see the layout and rigging before you reach out.
The current R257 listings span model years 2025 through 2027. That includes a 2025 and a 2026 rigged with twin Yamaha F150 outboards, plus 2027 boats described as dual console models. There are no older used years in the mix at the moment, so if you are hunting an early-generation R257 you will not find one among these five listings today.
None of the 5 R257 listings on the site states an engine hour figure, so there is no typical number to quote here. What the listings do show is model years 2025 to 2027 and twin Yamaha F150 power on a couple of them. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly for a current reading and the service history before you commit.
Since these are 2025 to 2027 boats with no hours listed, start by getting an hour reading and service records for the outboards, including the twin Yamaha F150s on the 2025 and 2026 boats. Check warranty status and transfer terms on a boat this new. Then do the usual dual console items: upholstery and canvas, livewell and insulated fish box plumbing, bilge pumps, electronics, steering and trailer if one is included. A sea trial is still worth it.
Going only by what the listings say, the R257 is a dual console bowrider with abundant seating, massive storage and dual 50-gallon insulated boxes mentioned as standard. Two boats are rigged with twin Yamaha F150 outboards. Sellers describe premium, robust construction and a layout suited to both fishing and family time. Anything beyond that, like specific electronics or canvas, you should confirm with the seller on the individual boat.
The descriptions lean that way. Sellers call it a dual console bowrider that blends family-friendly comfort with offshore capability, and they talk about abundant seating, big storage and anchoring at the sandbar. One listing describes offshore in the morning, cruising Biscayne Bay in the afternoon and the sandbar by sunset. Fishing is part of the pitch too, with insulated boxes, but the seating and bowrider layout point squarely at family days.
All 5 R257 listings on US Marine Connection are in Florida. Three are in Fort Myers and two are in North Miami. The Fort Myers boats are described around Southwest Florida waters like Charlotte Harbor and the Ten Thousand Islands, while the North Miami pair are pitched toward Biscayne Bay and offshore Miami running. Every one of the five has photos.
On asking prices only: the R257 runs $157,185 to $188,868 with a $186,963 median across 5 listings in years 2025 to 2027. The R250 has 8 listings at $151,537 to $170,901, median $164,792, same year span, so it sits lower. The 266 Cayman shows 5 listings from $124,500 to $178,077, median $159,383, with years reaching back to 2023. The site does not provide spec or performance comparisons between them.
