Most detailed review ever, this is very helpful for 18 foot shoppers and new boaters. For the noobs out there, buy and use a garboard wrench (drain plug wrench) for your plug. The brass is easy to round out with a normal wrench and you don't want to have the issue of not being able to get that out when its Oct/Nov in New England or other cold climate. Spend the few extra bucks.
Why do they always put the red battery switch in the worst place to get to, why can’t it be near the helm. Is old people prefer not to be on our knees.
I didn't even come to see this boat i was looking at the R160 I'm glad i did i love this boat and your review better than any I've seen in 6 months of research. Thanks
You did a great job describing the boat I seen alot of videos on boats yours is the most detailed I now have the r160 with a 90hp I will be getting a r180 next yr but with the fold down wind shield it has to go in my garage 👍
I just received my baby on 5/4. During my sea trial I was showing the capt where everything was and how things worked. He was impressed! Thanks again!!!
Fantastic video, thank you! I feel like you just did a huge favor to all other Robalo dealers by providing such a thorough walk through of everything on this boat! Wish we lived nearby so we could bring our business to your company.
I have been a boater for the sport and the hobby of taking care of them for over 60 years. I bought My first Robalo at the 1980 Miami Boat Show. I enjoyed it for four years and sold it for more than I paid for it. The new Robalos are so much better in every way. My friend bought an R200 On my advice and he’s very happy with it. Me too, I get to go fishing with him. These are very designed and built boats. A few suggestions to everyone making a purchase like this. Keep it covered when not being enjoyed, a garage or barn is best but a cover thrown over the T-Top covering the whole boat with bunny cords will keep it good looking. Always Use fenders at the dock. Wash all the saltwater off it everytime. Take it into the shop for a checkup and oil change every year (or do it yourself - videos on TH-cam for new boaters).

Good review just brought the R180 Three days ago.
How are you liking it?
One of the best reviews I've seen so far. Kudos to the presenter (Pat Desmond?) and crew at 3A Marine !
I need to get down to this dealership! What a great overview of the R180... Would be a nice upgrade to the AquaSport 175.
Anyone else find the serial killer heavy breathing deeply disturbing?
Amazing review very informative thank you
Thank you sir! Very nice review!
Glad you liked it!

For gawd sakes, get your cameraman an oxygen tank...he's out of breath operating the camera
It was tough to pay attention with the heavy breathing.
The most detailed review ever
Best review ever tons of useful information great job sir
The camera man sounds like Darth Vader
Best video ever. You dont need anything else. Here is all!!

Do you have any sources of real-life first-hand top speeds of a R180 with the 150 hp Yamaha and stainless steel prop?
What was your top speed with the 115 hp Yamaha? (Great review/video!)
Boat is supposed to be unsinkable even with drain plug open.
Good fit for those who want to get on the water with a cheap option that should hold up for a couple years if maintained well and kept inside

Great review best ever!
This is the most informative boat overview I've seen yet. Great job. Thank you!
Do all 180 have the value my dealer told me mine don't have one I haven't seen boat yet
The boat is 18.4 without motor long but how long with the 115
Best review ever made for a boat!!! Hands down can you do one for the r200
I have a 202 and watched this. It’s pretty much the same for you except the bow cushions. For me it was the bow cushions and seating at the back.
Excelent video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
you should have a 150 on this boat for best results
FANTASTIC REVIEW!! When I pick mine up I will be ready to gooooooooooo!!
How fast does it go with the 115 and the 150 hp
What happens if the boat floats off while you are in the truck? You better attach the bow lie to the dock.
REview and beginners lesson in one. Excellent! Thanks!
you let me down by not driving it on the trailer
Extremely detailed review, very through and informative!
Much appreciated!
The type of person u want to make a family purchase from.
Very thorough! Excellent!
This has to be one of the best videos around for the Robalo R180. Very well done!

Thank you for taking the time for this review. Very detailed, which helps a lot on the decision, to purchase a new boat.
Never mentioned the head in the console. That's a major selling point on an 18ft boat
