An independent market report. We don’t sell boats or listings. Last reviewed June 2026. (We don’t own an R272, so the owner feedback below is sourced from boating forums and published reviews, and attributed.)
What’s a Robalo R272 worth? As of June 2026, a used Robalo R272 is listed (asking) from about $110,000 up to $169,000, averaging around $143,000. By year, expect roughly $126,000 to $130,000 for a 2019 to 2020, $140,000 to $159,000 for 2021 to 2023, and $170,000 and up for a new one. It tends to sell roughly 8 to 10 percent under asking. Selling figures here are honest estimates, not recorded sales.
The Robalo R272 is the bigger brother to the R242, a 27 foot center console that owners describe as overbuilt, with a notably dry, soft ride. Here’s the pricing across years and what owners actually say.
What it’s listed for (current market)
Compiled from current listings across the major sites (boats.com and Boat Trader). Used R272s range from about $110,000 to $169,000, averaging near $143,000. A sample by year:
| Year | Asking (sample) |
|---|---|
| 2023 | about $155,000 |
| 2022 | $155,000 to $159,000 |
| 2021 | about $140,000 |
| 2020 | about $126,500 |
| 2019 | $128,000 to $143,000 |
Value by model year
| Model year | Typical asking | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| New (2024 and up) | $170,000 and up | (est.) |
| 2023 | about $155,000 | observed sample |
| 2022 | $155,000 to $159,000 | observed sample |
| 2021 | about $140,000 | observed sample |
| 2020 | $126,000 to $130,000 | observed sample |
| 2019 | $128,000 to $143,000 | observed sample (wide) |
The takeaway: the R272 holds value well. Even early boats sit near $128K, and the gap to a new one is modest, which tells you demand for a well-built 27 stays strong.
What it likely sells for
Robalo sits above the value brands, so the R272 usually sells roughly 8 to 10 percent under asking, more on listings that have sat or dropped. A 2021 asking about $140K likely trades around $126K to $129K. These are estimates, not recorded sales. Actual sold prices aren’t public.
How it holds value
Strongly for the segment. A 27 foot Robalo is a lot of well-built boat for the money, and used demand is steady. Not quite Grady-White retention, but firm.
What owners and reviewers say
Sourced from owner discussion on The Hull Truth and reviews (FishTalk, BoatTEST), weighted by recurring themes.
What owners praise (often): a very dry, soft ride from a 23 degree deadrise hull, with owners impressed even on rough days; genuinely overbuilt construction; and a layout that balances real fishing room with comfortable family seating. The ride, layout, and price are all dialed in.
Common notes and gripes (some): the hardtop extends well aft, so there is plenty of room for deep dropping and trolling but it is tight for casting; and on the current generation the anchor locker is harder to reach if the windlass jams than it was on older models.
Overall sentiment is strongly positive. The R272 is widely seen as a lot of well-built, dry-riding boat for the money.
