00:00:00.123 --> 00:00:03.290
(upbeat techno music)

2
00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:10.830 line:15% 
<v ->We just finished testing the Robalo R180.</v>

3
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:13.580 line:15% 
It's powered by the Yamaha 115 four-stroke

4
00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:16.050 line:15% 
which proved to be a really nice match with this boat.

5
00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:19.700 line:15% 
Got it on plane in 3.7 seconds with very little bow rise,

6
00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:21.120 line:15% 
which are really very useful,

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.800 line:15% 
for anglers tryin' get outta shallow water.

8
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.760 line:15% 
And we got to 30 mph in ten seconds flat,

9
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.500 line:15% 
with a top speed of 41 mph.

10
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:30.420 line:15% 
Let's head back to the dock

11
00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:32.110 line:15% 
and check out some of the features.

12
00:00:32.110 --> 00:00:34.360 line:15% 
Well Tom, when I saw this boat it really blew,

13
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:36.010 line:15% 
what really blew me away about it

14
00:00:36.010 --> 00:00:38.210 line:15% 
was how huge it is up here.

15
00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:41.170 line:15% 
This is the biggest hull I've ever seen for an 18 footer.

16
00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:43.580 line:15% 
I mean the gunnel's are up to my thigh,

17
00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:44.580 line:15% 
almost up to my hip,

18
00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:46.780 line:15% 
but I've never seen that before in an 18 footer.

19
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:48.680 line:15% 
<v ->We have a good bit of freeboard on this boat,</v>

20
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:49.513 line:15% 
we're proud of.

21
00:00:49.513 --> 00:00:52.263 line:15% 
We have a wide flare design, dry riding boat.

22
00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:56.220 line:15% 
Non-skid everywhere, the diamond plate non-skid.

23
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:57.360 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah I love the walkaround here,</v>

24
00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:59.710 line:15% 
that's something you usually don't see.

25
00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:02.240 line:15% 
And the casting platform is pretty unique too.

26
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.590 line:15% 
<v Tom>Yes, so we offer an optional cushion for that,</v>

27
00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:07.409 line:15% 
so kids can ride up here.

28
00:01:07.409 --> 00:01:08.530 line:15% 
<v ->Nice.</v>
<v ->Nice and safe.</v>

29
00:01:08.530 --> 00:01:10.610 line:15% 
<v ->And how about the console here, what do we have?</v>

30
00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:13.310 line:15% 
<v ->Console actually has a head enclosed in it.</v>

31
00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:15.220 line:15% 
<v ->That's just.</v>
<v ->A lockable head.</v>

32
00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:16.240 line:15% 
<v ->Oh yeah, that is unbelievable.</v>

33
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.080 line:15% 
18 footer with a head that a adult male can use,

34
00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:20.960 line:15% 
that's really amazing.

35
00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:22.810 line:15% 
<v ->Yes it is, plenty of room, lighted,</v>

36
00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:25.170 line:15% 
great access to wiring and so forth.

37
00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:27.570 line:15% 
<v Alan>Well I like how the console's really tall,</v>

38
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:30.080 line:15% 
I mean we can get a nice sized display in there as well.

39
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:33.330 line:15% 
<v ->Have plenty of room for your displays, storage in the top</v>

40
00:01:33.330 --> 00:01:35.840 line:15% 
and feed to the Yamaha digital gauges is standard.

41
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.673 line:15% 
<v ->Yeah us anglers,</v>

42
00:01:36.673 --> 00:01:39.250 line:15% 
we like to have alotta junk thrown out there on the helm,

43
00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:42.070 line:15% 
up on the dash, and it's nice to have it stay there,

44
00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:43.570 line:15% 
that's pretty cool.

45
00:01:43.570 --> 00:01:46.690 line:15% 
Now, what do we have going on back here?

46
00:01:46.690 --> 00:01:49.490 line:15% 
<v Tom>We have a cooler mounted under the leaning post.</v>

47
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.870 line:15% 
<v ->And how about in the stern here?</v>

48
00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:54.450 line:15% 
<v ->Have storage in the port side,</v>

49
00:01:54.450 --> 00:01:57.480 line:15% 
battery in the starboard side, and livewell in the center.

50
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.460 line:15% 
<v Alan>How big is that livewell?</v>

51
00:01:58.460 --> 00:01:59.320 line:15% 
<v Tom>15 gallons.</v>

52
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:01.670 line:15% 
<v ->Wow it's huge, and you could flip these down too,</v>

53
00:02:01.670 --> 00:02:03.170 line:15% 
that's a nice feature.
<v ->Yes sir.</v>

54
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:05.040 line:15% 
Climbing in and out of the boat thats.
