WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.763 (happy upbeat music) 2 00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:21.310 line:15% I am in Miami Florida with the folks at Robalo Boats, 3 00:00:21.310 --> 00:00:22.740 line:15% and I'm on a brand new boat. 4 00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:24.541 line:15% The 317 Dual Console. 5 00:00:24.541 --> 00:00:27.520 line:15% It's powered by twin Yamaha 300's, 6 00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:30.450 line:15% It's got a beautiful hardtop, and my favorite feature 7 00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:32.920 line:15% on board is the glass cockpit. 8 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.350 line:15% Now the first thing you'll notice here is 9 00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:38.019 line:15% right at the center, it's a large GPSMAP xsv by Garmin. 10 00:00:38.019 --> 00:00:41.840 We love the fact that it shows not only your GPS, 11 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.150 you can move it over to sonar, 12 00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:46.490 and get a split screen sonar. 13 00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:50.440 But, go back here and run all of your engine gauges 14 00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:52.780 through it, you can even connect video to it, 15 00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:54.710 so when you're docking you've got an easy view 16 00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:55.950 of what's behind you. 17 00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:59.450 You've got LED lighted switches on either side. 18 00:00:59.450 --> 00:01:01.740 We love the fact that when the courtesy lights are on, 19 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.130 or when the navigation lights are on, they're all lit up. 20 00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:07.690 But, when you turn on an object, it turns red. 21 00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:09.980 We like the fact that we've got LED courtesy lights 22 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:12.500 along the floor, and at the ceiling. 23 00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.980 You can even turn those to red for chart reading. 24 00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:17.970 Now another great feature on our test boat 25 00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:22.400 is the SeaStar Solutions Optimus 360 joystick steering. 26 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.070 It activates at the touch of button. 27 00:01:24.070 --> 00:01:27.540 And once activated, you can pivot the boat or crab sideways 28 00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:29.940 to get in and out of tight slots. 29 00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:32.520 Now there's an optional VHF radio by Garmin 30 00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:34.730 up above in the electronics box. 31 00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:36.630 Alternatively, this vessel can be fit 32 00:01:36.630 --> 00:01:39.420 with a Simrad glass cockpit, as well. 33 00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:41.660 The skipper gets a double wide helm seat 34 00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:43.240 with a flip-up bolster. 35 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:45.430 And on the passenger side, you've got another seat 36 00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:47.170 of equal proportions. 37 00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:48.780 And when you get to the transom, 38 00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:51.300 there's a great seat there, the sides flip up 39 00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:53.230 or flip down to give you either a forward 40 00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:55.790 or an aft facing lounge, or a full length 41 00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:57.530 double wide sun pad. 42 00:01:57.530 --> 00:01:59.370 Continuing on with the creature comforts, 43 00:01:59.370 --> 00:02:02.150 if you go to the port side console, open the hatch, 44 00:02:02.150 --> 00:02:04.670 you'll find a full length berth down below. 45 00:02:04.670 --> 00:02:07.720 Plus, rod storage and overhead lighting. 46 00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:09.280 To access the head compartment, 47 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.990 walk to the forward seating area, 48 00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:13.410 and pull open the starboard bulkhead. 49 00:02:13.410 --> 00:02:15.490 At the forward seating, pull out the cushions 50 00:02:15.490 --> 00:02:17.060 and you've got casting decks. 51 00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:18.960 A great place to either cast a line, 52 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.660 or throw a bait net. 53 00:02:20.660 --> 00:02:23.040 You've got a port side livewell that's enormous 54 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:25.000 with a glass top, and it's circular, 55 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.800 to keep your bait moving around so there's no dead spots 56 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.540 and you have lively bait. 57 00:02:29.540 --> 00:02:32.040 The fish box is on the transom platform 58 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:34.000 underneath the aft seating. 59 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.470 Now if you're catching a big fish, 60 00:02:35.470 --> 00:02:37.730 like a tuna, you've got the port side door 61 00:02:37.730 --> 00:02:39.780 that serves both as a dive door, 62 00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.470 easy entry from the dock, and a great place 63 00:02:42.470 --> 00:02:44.680 to pull that big fish aboard. 64 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.130 I like the fact that you've got two more 65 00:02:46.130 --> 00:02:48.780 under Gunwale rod hangers on the starboard side. 66 00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:51.540 And for more rod storage, you've got six rod holders 67 00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:53.570 on either side of the hardtop. 68 00:02:53.570 --> 00:02:55.680 The hardtop is pre-rigged for outriggers 69 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.100 and this one's equipped with the electric sun shade, 70 00:02:58.100 --> 00:03:01.060 because there's never enough shade on the water. 71 00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:02.730 Now our boats equipped with the standard 72 00:03:02.730 --> 00:03:05.380 Clarion audio system, but it's been blinged up 73 00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:07.670 with the Wet Sounds soundbar above, 74 00:03:07.670 --> 00:03:10.920 which just adds great depth to your sound. 75 00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:14.760 The 317 Dual Console is a great day cruising boat. 76 00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:17.550 Awesome for a dive platform or just puttering 77 00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:18.970 around the beaches. 78 00:03:18.970 --> 00:03:20.880 But you're really gonna come into it's own 79 00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:23.936 line:15% with it, when you go out for some hardcore fishing. 80 00:03:23.936 --> 00:03:27.019 line:15% (happy upbeat music)
