New Boat

[calcutta37]

Have any of you guys looked at or been in a Rambo 27. I have been looking at them for a few years. Would love to ride in one but don't think there's one in Louisiana. Man builds them 1 at a time and however you want it.

Nice sled

Nice boat. I wondered what you where going to do after I saw your Blazer bay for sale.

Finally got a chance to get a few more pictures.

I have gotten past the 2 hour break in period and cant believe how stable this boat is. It does not lean with 3 people standing on the same side. The room in the boat is also one of the first things I noticed. With the Blazer we always felt like we did not have room to move. The beam on the Robalo makes all the difference in the world. Have not had a chance to see what it rides like in rough water but did do 5 circles and cut through the middle and it was not the pounding action I'm used to.
Yamaha's break in period called for 1 hour at idle the one hour under 2,000 RPM. Then the next 8 hours to not hold at max RPM for more than 5 seconds. I got it up to max RPM and saw 48mph and she was still climbing when I pulled back. This boat will not be anywhere as fast as the Blazer but what I give up in speed will be made up for with the comfort of the boat.

Really did not want to deal with them but they are the only ones in the state that sell Robalo. My *** is still hurting from the screwing when they charged me $1,700 to install a trolling motor and a Simrad.

Ouch!! Next time just drive up to my house one Saturday with a couple cases of beer and I'll save you $1600.

Have not seen the new 2016 models... that is sweet, going to the boat show in Biloxi this weekend and I hope to see one there so that I can see the Rabolo and Tidewater side by side.

Congrats on your new sled.

Nice boat, haven't seen Robalos around South LA in a long time, at one time they were quite popular.

Haven't seen the Robalos, but I bought my second Tidewater in August and I love it

Very nice boat!

According to the F300 manual is says to not run it full throttle for more than 5 minutes, not 5 seconds during this 8 hour period. I believe it's on page 52 in the manual. I would suggest running it up to the 5 minute mark at full throttle a few times during this phase of the break-in, or it stands a chance of making oil.

OOPS yes it does. I will get my top speed the weekend then.
