Hello Hope that you took her out . I’m planning on getting one as well . Asking price 40 k tax included but with no trailer . Bimini top . Trying to debate wether I go for it or get a key west 176cc instead . How do you like that boat and what spec did you have on your boat ?
@@Tanbouri I absolutely lvoe my boat i am on it every single day. Mine has a 150 Yamaha which is absolutely necessary the 115 does not have enough power. I can get on plane in seconds with seven people in it and cruise at 36-38MPH. With just two people i have hit 43
No i did not, i did the math and it would have been upwards of 3k. To get my boat into dangerous skinny water and not be usable for canals. So instead i just got another boat. 15 ft john boat with a 40 ho tiller and trolling motor up front.
@@TonyCardoso you aint lying about that 3K! After the install, 2 batts, onboard charger all that priced me outta that idea. Smart getting the jon. How is the 180 running? I dont get mine until Feb so I am going crazy over here LOL
No , just front wheel drive v6. And the trailer does not have brakes. Only had trouble once pulling it from the water but helped the car with the boat motor. Not recommended but doable. Now i use a 2019 ram 1500 4x4
@@TonyCardoso yeah, I will have to push out my boat purchase by a year, need to get a truck first. Good news is, I can go with R180, snug fit in my garage.
@@eric95209 talking about a snug fit, i have 4 inches on each side of the wall. And no way to back it in with the truck. Have to do it by hand or the trailer valet 5x i just got.
Hello Tony Planning to buy one from Pompano Beach Florida . Did you get yours from MIA ? How good of a deal was it and what specs did you have on your boat ?
Hello samer, i got mine used, it is a very well mantained 2013 with 270 hours. The motor is the 150. For a similar boat new they were asking mid 40s and i got mine for 25k. Main spec i recommend is the 150. I dont have but would also like trim tabs. And i recently installed a t top for 1400.
@@tracymartin1336 love it, have only truck it with rods a couple of times. Much rather have the t top than the bimini. No hassle of taking it off and on. I wish i would have added a couple more rod holders up top and on the leaning post.
Awesome i just bought myself an r180 can't wait to take her out
Awesome, hope you enjoy her!

Can you fit that r 180 in a regular two car garage? Do you know the height on the trailer as well…

Good amount of room on those 180s. Lots of freeboard too. Looks like fun- thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching ! Inside the "head" if you remove the stair step you get quite a bit more usable space
We need more vids my man!!! I dont get my 180 til March 2022 so I am living thru you and your fam LOL.
Hey Tony did you ever get a trolling motor for your R180? I'm trying to figure out if a 60 inch shaft will be long enough?

@@tracymartin1336 oh wow. I bet waiting sucks. Been good, took it out last weekend.
@@TonyCardoso it has been terrible. Plz post some vids!! I need to see that r180 in action. All I can do is dream on my end....until Feb!
Was that a 4WD Sorrento you're using to pull that boat with?
No , just front wheel drive v6. And the trailer does not have brakes. Only had trouble once pulling it from the water but helped the car with the boat motor. Not recommended but doable. Now i use a 2019 ram 1500 4x4
@@TonyCardoso That's the only reason why I'm not able to buy a boat, have to replaced that FWD Sorrento. Thanks for the info! Have fun boating!

Hey again! By where did you go?
Out of bear cut 15 miles out looking for weeds and birds.
How far out have you been ? Thinking of getting a r200 with a 200 soon.
This trip is the furthest we have been out, about 15-20 miles out.

@@TonyCardoso ok that's great my man!! I ordered mine wit the t top bcuz I hate biminis😆 Got the 150 hp also might as well max it out
@@tracymartin1336 for sure! Good decision! If not you will be left wishing you had gotten this, or had gotten that.
