00:00:13.385 --> 00:00:14.325
What's going on everybody?

00:00:14.325 --> 00:00:16.285
It's William from Robalo here to take you on a walkthrough

00:00:16.285 --> 00:00:19.605
of our newest dual console in the 2026 model year lineup,

00:00:19.745 --> 00:00:22.565
the R277. Measuring in at 27 and a half feet in length,

00:00:22.565 --> 00:00:25.405
with a 9 and a half foot beam

00:00:25.665 --> 00:00:28.685
the R277 is ready for anything.

00:00:28.685 --> 00:00:30.285
Built with Robalo's proven construction,

00:00:30.285 --> 00:00:32.125
including an all-fiberglass stringer system,

00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:34.005
a composite transom, and a Kevlar-

00:00:34.205 --> 00:00:36.605
reinforced hull, this boat delivers strength, durability,

00:00:36.705 --> 00:00:38.965
and a smooth confident ride in all conditions.

00:00:39.915 --> 00:00:42.805
Pair that with our aggressive 23-degree offshore hull design

00:00:42.805 --> 00:00:45.645
from the R270 and a deck layout focused on family,

00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:47.845
comfort, and luxury, and you've got the perfect

00:00:47.845 --> 00:00:49.005
crossover dual console.

00:00:49.575 --> 00:00:51.165
Let's hop aboard and take a closer look.

00:00:52.165 --> 00:00:54.325
Starting up in the bow, we have deep U-shaped seating

00:00:54.325 --> 00:00:57.325
with wraparound bolsters stainless-steel grab rails

00:00:57.505 --> 00:01:00.525
and fold down armrests so everybody has a safe, secure place

00:01:00.525 --> 00:01:04.165
to relax. All the seat cushions feature integrated latches,

00:01:04.165 --> 00:01:06.845
so you can easily access the three insulated storage

00:01:06.845 --> 00:01:09.125
compartments underneath without having to remove them.

00:01:09.825 --> 00:01:11.205
If you do want to take the cushions off,

00:01:11.205 --> 00:01:13.605
this whole area converts into a large casting deck

00:01:13.675 --> 00:01:16.525
with diamond pattern non-skid, perfect for fishing,

00:01:16.665 --> 00:01:19.045
or just giving you a little extra space to move around.

00:01:19.745 --> 00:01:21.245
In the center, you'll find a mount

00:01:21.265 --> 00:01:23.325
for your optional bow table or filler.

00:01:23.915 --> 00:01:26.765
This filler can be used to create a full bow sun pad

00:01:26.785 --> 00:01:28.285
or to extend your casting deck

00:01:28.285 --> 00:01:29.365
when the cushions are removed.

00:01:30.425 --> 00:01:32.805
You've also got another deep storage compartment in the

00:01:32.805 --> 00:01:35.725
center of the floor and moving up to the fore deck,

00:01:35.725 --> 00:01:37.445
there are two stainless-steel pull-up

00:01:37.445 --> 00:01:38.685
cleats and your anchor locker.

00:01:39.675 --> 00:01:41.605
This model has the optional windlass system,

00:01:41.735 --> 00:01:43.365
which you could control right here at the

00:01:43.365 --> 00:01:44.725
locker or from the helm.

00:01:45.135 --> 00:01:47.005
Super convenient when it's time to drop anchor.

00:01:47.425 --> 00:01:48.485
As we make our way out of the bow

00:01:48.485 --> 00:01:49.565
one of the biggest advantages

00:01:49.565 --> 00:01:52.245
to a dual console design is a full glass windshield.

00:01:53.225 --> 00:01:55.845
It pairs perfectly with the wind door to help block wind

00:01:55.845 --> 00:01:57.845
and spray when you're running on those rougher days.

00:01:58.315 --> 00:01:59.405
When you open the wind door,

00:01:59.405 --> 00:02:01.005
you'll notice a convenient storage area

00:02:01.005 --> 00:02:02.045
tucked beneath the console.

00:02:02.375 --> 00:02:04.605
We've got a trash can mounted on the inside door,

00:02:04.745 --> 00:02:06.925
and there's also a dedicated storage for your bow table

00:02:06.925 --> 00:02:09.885
and filler cushion, keeping everything neat and tucked away.

00:02:10.585 --> 00:02:13.165
On the port side console, you'll find a lockable glove box

00:02:13.465 --> 00:02:15.765
and just below it the handle for the head door.

00:02:16.115 --> 00:02:18.285
Pull the handle beneath the stainless-steel grab bar

00:02:18.305 --> 00:02:20.925
and the door swings toward the center for easy access.

00:02:21.465 --> 00:02:23.405
Inside the head includes overhead lighting,

00:02:23.585 --> 00:02:26.285
an opening port light, mirror, electric toilet,

00:02:26.695 --> 00:02:29.645
freshwater sink, and teak and holly flooring.

00:02:29.995 --> 00:02:31.005
Once the door's closed,

00:02:31.145 --> 00:02:34.205
you'll also notice a built-in phone charger, cup holder

00:02:34.665 --> 00:02:38.205
and secondary sound system control. Over the helm

00:02:38.205 --> 00:02:39.645
you'll notice plenty of thoughtful touches.

00:02:40.295 --> 00:02:42.165
Let's start with the new extra wide helm seat.

00:02:42.625 --> 00:02:45.405
It features fold down armrests, a flip-up bolster,

00:02:45.785 --> 00:02:48.725
and an electric forward and aft adjustment via switch

00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:49.965
on the side.

00:02:49.965 --> 00:02:53.005
Front and center, we have a standard 12-inch SIMRAD NSS4

00:02:53.005 --> 00:02:54.525
display. To either side

00:02:54.525 --> 00:02:55.845
we have stainless-steel switches

00:02:55.875 --> 00:02:58.605
that control systems throughout the boat. Below

00:02:58.675 --> 00:03:00.885
there's a leather wrapped steering wheel on a tilt base,

00:03:01.025 --> 00:03:02.805
so you can fine tune your driving position.

00:03:03.435 --> 00:03:05.845
This boat also features the JL Audio upgrade,

00:03:05.855 --> 00:03:08.205
which includes a subwoofer below the helm,

00:03:08.665 --> 00:03:09.685
two speakers in the bow,

00:03:09.685 --> 00:03:11.805
and four speakers in the hard top. All controlled

00:03:11.805 --> 00:03:12.925
with a knob to the left of the wheel.

00:03:13.345 --> 00:03:16.045
You'll also find your kill switch and push to start buttons nearby.

00:03:16.185 --> 00:03:19.405
On the right, you've got your throttle

00:03:19.405 --> 00:03:20.445
and two great options:

00:03:20.785 --> 00:03:23.285
the Lenco Pro Auto-Leveling Trim Tab System

00:03:23.465 --> 00:03:25.645
and the Yamaha Maneuverability Joystick.

00:03:26.665 --> 00:03:29.405
The Lenco system automatically keeps the boat level while

00:03:29.605 --> 00:03:31.685
underway, and the joystick makes close quarter

00:03:31.965 --> 00:03:33.165
maneuverability easy.

00:03:33.755 --> 00:03:36.205
Down below you'll find a wireless phone charger

00:03:36.305 --> 00:03:39.925
and dual USB port for added convenience. Moving

00:03:39.925 --> 00:03:41.965
aft there's another large in-floor storage

00:03:41.965 --> 00:03:43.405
compartment here in the cockpit,

00:03:43.825 --> 00:03:45.685
and before we go any further, it's hard not

00:03:45.685 --> 00:03:47.565
to notice the sheer size of this hard top.

00:03:48.105 --> 00:03:49.325
It provides excellent shade

00:03:49.325 --> 00:03:50.525
and comes loaded with features,

00:03:50.905 --> 00:03:54.165
two overhead storage compartments, four map lights,

00:03:54.755 --> 00:03:57.765
four JL Audio speakers, four spreader lights,

00:03:58.345 --> 00:04:00.805
six rod holders, and even a ski tow pylon.

00:04:01.065 --> 00:04:03.765
On the Port side, we have our versatile split bench seating.

00:04:03.905 --> 00:04:05.605
It easily converts from two back-

00:04:05.605 --> 00:04:07.965
to-back seats into an aft-facing lounger

00:04:07.965 --> 00:04:11.045
with the pull of a handle. Underneath, there's a large cooler

00:04:11.065 --> 00:04:13.245
for all your drinks and gear. Across

00:04:13.305 --> 00:04:15.685
on the starboard side, you'll find an L-shaped seat

00:04:15.685 --> 00:04:18.725
with a table base mount, perfect for dining in the cockpit.

00:04:19.275 --> 00:04:21.325
Beneath the seating, there's even more storage,

00:04:21.325 --> 00:04:24.405
including dedicated space for your custom soft side cooler.

00:04:24.945 --> 00:04:26.965
If you'd rather trade some seating for amenities,

00:04:27.065 --> 00:04:28.565
you can opt for the wet bar instead.

00:04:28.945 --> 00:04:31.045
The wet bar includes a stainless-steel sink

00:04:31.045 --> 00:04:34.405
with pull out sprayer, drawer storage and a soft side cooler.

00:04:34.945 --> 00:04:37.285
Or you can upgrade to a stainless-steel refrigerator

00:04:37.315 --> 00:04:38.565
that will replace the drawers.

00:04:38.905 --> 00:04:40.445
Moving into the aft cockpit,

00:04:40.445 --> 00:04:42.765
we get into the R277's fishability.

00:04:43.255 --> 00:04:46.005
There are two 53-gallon in-floor fish boxes

00:04:46.075 --> 00:04:49.565
with discharge pumps, rod storage along the starboard wall

00:04:49.565 --> 00:04:51.845
with rail pads, and toe rails

00:04:51.845 --> 00:04:54.085
for extra stability when fighting fish offshore.

00:04:54.545 --> 00:04:57.205
On the port side, you'll find a 30-gallon livewell

00:04:57.205 --> 00:05:00.125
and a side entry door. Perfect for boarding at the dock

00:05:00.145 --> 00:05:01.285
or landing a big catch.

00:05:02.265 --> 00:05:04.365
The mount at the base of the door holds the optional

00:05:04.365 --> 00:05:06.365
stainless-steel removable reboarding ladder.

00:05:06.945 --> 00:05:08.125
Across the transom

00:05:08.125 --> 00:05:10.445
there's a fold down bench seat with high back rest

00:05:10.445 --> 00:05:12.125
that comfortably fits three people.

00:05:12.595 --> 00:05:15.285
When not in use, it folds flush into the transom wall

00:05:15.305 --> 00:05:17.365
to open up cockpit space for fishing.

00:05:17.995 --> 00:05:20.085
Lifting the seat also gives you access

00:05:20.085 --> 00:05:22.805
to the bilge compartment, and you'll find four rod holders

00:05:22.805 --> 00:05:25.205
built into the rear transom wall. At the rear,

00:05:25.205 --> 00:05:26.965
there's a hatch built in the starboard wall

00:05:26.965 --> 00:05:28.565
that houses your battery switches

00:05:28.905 --> 00:05:32.005
and a transom walkthrough door.

00:05:32.665 --> 00:05:34.605
The swim platform features a bridge

00:05:34.605 --> 00:05:37.565
behind the engines allowing you to move easily from side

00:05:37.565 --> 00:05:41.165
to side, and you'll find a concealed four-step reboarding ladder

00:05:41.185 --> 00:05:42.805
tucked neatly on the starboard side.

00:05:43.535 --> 00:05:45.165
