Gelcoat
The advanced technology polyester we use offers superior weathering
resistance to surface yellowing and chalking. It will also help protect and
maintain the original glossy luster of your boat’s finish. Robalo uses a
premium quality gelcoat which offers improved flexibility over other gel‐
coats, minimizing the potential for cracking.
Resin
It’s an age‐old problem. Water penetrates the gelcoat and blisters the
bottom. The key is the resin. To cut costs, most use a general purpose
resin. Robalo uses a premium quality resin in the hull skin coat of every
boat in our line because of its superior bonding characteristics and
exceptional flex.
Loom Wrap Wiring
Attention to rigging detail is a Robalo hallmark. Instead of routing the
engine wiring harness haphazardly in the bilge in black tape, we rely on
automotive style flexguard loom that not only keeps things neat but also
protects against abrasion.
Through Bolted Stainless Steel Cleats
It’s one of the most often used components on your boat, but most
people think a cleat is a cleat, right? Wrong. Robalo’s cleats are stainless
steel so they won’t corrode and so they won’t twist. Also, ours are big
enough to accept a full‐sized looped line.
Heavy Duty Rub Rail
A rub rail is supposed to protect your boat. Robalo uses a heavy‐duty
PVC rub rail with stainless steel insert that absorbs far more impact
without denting.
Acrylic Tops
Ours are acrylic because it’s a superior material that won’t crack, peel, or
mildew. Further, our acrylic tops won’t shrink or expand, which means
they look and fi t better in all weather conditions.
Stain Resistant Fabrics
Accidents happen. Spilled drinks, wet bathing suits and soggy towels are
a fact of life on a boat. All our cabin fabrics are stain resistant. Buyers can
choose from a wide variety of colors. When it comes to interior fabrics,
we have the one that’s right for you.
Superior Plastics vs. Wood
Robalo prides itself on building seats that are not only comfortable, but
durable. We use plastic seats because they hold their shape and don’t
retain water, reducing the potential for foam deterioration.
