BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 29 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
22 priced listings across 7 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (90 raw listings collapsed to 29 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 2006–2022, 7 states, 15 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $47,000 and $68,000, only a 1.4x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.
- BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is concentrated: our 29 listings came from only 7 states, led by FL. Expect a smaller buyer pool at resale, and budget for transport if the right boat is not local.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
2 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

The 7 most recently seen of 7 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
Robalo recalls and accident record
Of 221Robalo boats in USCG accident records: fire or explosion 4%, flooding or swamping 12%, capsizing 7%, total loss 7%, at least one death 6%. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.
These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.
Recalls affecting Robalo

Engines we actually see on the R222
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300)
The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.
Service reality: 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.

What to inspect on a used Robalo R222
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300): 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion. Seen on 7 of the 29 R222 listings we track (typically 250 hp on this model).
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
- Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 100% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 2006, so boats over 20 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on R222 listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a R222 costs to own
$3,750 – $10k per year
- 22 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (FL)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
