2023 Robalo R250
Price: $179,000
Twin Yamaha 200s | Helm Master Joystick | Zipwake | Fully Rigged for Tuna, Salmon and Offshore FishingOffered at $179,000
This 2023 Robalo R250 is far more than a standard center console with a few fishing accessories added. It has been carefully developed into an exceptionally capable Pacific Northwest fishing platform for offshore tuna, salmon, halibut, bottomfish, Columbia River fishing and freshwater use.
Powered by twin Yamaha F200XCA digital four-stroke outboards with approximately 200 hours, this R250 delivers the speed, range and twin-engine reliability needed for serious offshore use. The boat reportedly cruises around 35–40 mph and can reach approximately 45 mph when fully loaded.
A professionally installed Yamaha Helm Master system provides joystick docking, integrated autopilot and advanced position-control functions, including FishPoint, StayPoint and DriftPoint. It can also run programmable trolling patterns such as straight lines, zigzags and spirals. The joystick allows the operator to maneuver the boat precisely at low speeds and move laterally while docking.
A recently installed Zipwake dynamic trim-control system continuously adjusts the boat’s running attitude to reduce pitch and roll, improve visibility and create a smoother, more controlled ride as conditions change.
Electronics include twin Simrad NSS12 EVO3S multifunction displays, Simrad 4G radar, a GS25 heading sensor, an Airmar SS175HW 1kW high-wide transducer and a Simrad S5100 sonar module. The displays also contain an extensive collection of fishing waypoints.
The boat is equipped with a bow-mounted Minn Kota Riptide Instinct 36-volt trolling motor powered by a 100Ah Dakota Lithium battery mounted below deck. The system provides Spot-Lock, remote steering, trolling control and the ability to remotely position the boat during launching and retrieval. Combined with Helm Master, autopilot and Zipwake, this R250 is particularly manageable for an owner who regularly fishes alone or with a small crew.
This is a thoroughly developed fishing platform with four insulated fish boxes, a 30-gallon lighted livewell, extensive rod storage, twin Cannon Optimum TS downriggers, powered connections for downriggers and electric reels, removable bleed boxes, a custom tackle center and numerous Burnewiin mounting positions.
The open center-console layout allows unrestricted movement from bow to stern and provides excellent visibility in crowded fisheries. The large forward casting platform is equally useful for working tuna, casting for freshwater species or creating additional family seating. The oversized hardtop, bonded windshield and custom side spray shields provide meaningful protection without sacrificing the visibility and deck access that make a center console so effective.
The original hull color is Alloy Gray beneath a professionally installed removable custom wrap. The wrap creates a distinctive appearance while also helping protect the original gelcoat. The boat has been stored indoors and has only been moored for short periods.
A complete selection of tuna, salmon and live-bait fishing equipment may also be available through separate negotiation, creating the opportunity to purchase a genuinely turn-key fishing package.

A Turn-Key Pacific Northwest Fishing Platform
This R250 offers an uncommon combination of speed, open-deck fishability, storage, advanced electronics and precise vessel control. It is equally suited for offshore albacore runs, live-bait fishing, ocean salmon, Columbia River trolling, halibut, bottomfish and freshwater use.
The large fuel capacity, twin-engine reliability, advanced sonar package, four fish boxes, livewell, electric trolling motor and extensive rod-management system make it especially well prepared for Pacific Northwest fisheries.
For a buyer who wants a thoroughly equipped boat without spending years selecting equipment, arranging installations and refining the layout, this Robalo presents a rare opportunity.
Fishing rods, reels, tackle, live-bait equipment and additional gear may be available through separate negotiation. A detailed inventory can be provided to qualified buyers.
