Robalo says its R242 Explorer — the flagship of this center console series — takes family time to the next level. The deep-V design is classic, and the luxury standard features create comfort for all.
The 24-footer comes with LED cockpit lighting, a freshwater shower and a fully equipped private head, as well as U-shaped bow seating fitted with a standard filler cushion for relaxation.
For anglers, Robalo includes a 16-gallon livewell and five-gallon-bucket storage beneath the L-shaped aft seating and twin 36-gallon fish boxes at the bow.


The R242 Explorer can handle up to 350 hp. Trim tabs with an indicator come standard, as does a stereo system, a transom door, and a leaning post with dual flip-up bolsters and a backrest. Electronics packages from Garmin or Simrad are available options.
Further dress out the boat for fishing by adding an optional canvas T-top or hardtop and some Gemlux carbon-fiber outriggers. The R242 can also be rigged with power-assisted hydraulic steering and either single or twin outboards from Evinrude, Mercury or Yamaha.
