Robalo 200 Center Console Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Robalo R200
Robalo builds its fishing boats in Nashville, Georgia, alongside sister brand Chaparral. The Robalo 200, sold as the R200, is a 20-foot center console with bow seating. It measures 20’7″ with an 8’4″ beam and an 18-degree transom deadrise, weighs about 3,000 lb with the engine, carries 70 gallons of fuel and is rated for a single outboard up to 200 hp. The bow has seating with removable cushions over insulated storage boxes that drain overboard. The console has an acrylic windshield with a stainless grab rail, six vertical rod holders, a forward console seat with a bolster and a hinged door to a compartment with 5 feet of headroom and room for an optional portable toilet. Behind the helm is a leaning post with a 72-quart cooler, and at the stern a 15-gallon livewell sits between fold-down jump seats that convert to a casting platform. Robalo offered a bimini top or a T-top as options. This Center Console cover is patterned for the Robalo 200 without a T-top, and like all of our Robalo boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 20-foot size chart.
How It Fits the Robalo 200
The cover peaks over the console and windshield and slopes down to the gunwales, so rain runs off instead of pooling. Forward it runs over the bow seating to the stem; through the middle it takes in the console seat and leaning post, falling to the rubrail along the 8’4″ beam. Aft, it covers the jump seats and livewell and falls as one loose drape over the outboard cowling, with the lower unit exposed. Remove your trolling motor before installing the cover. Trolling motors come in too many styles to pattern around, so the cover isn’t made to go over one. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Not the Same as the 207 Dual Console
Robalo’s 207 shares the R200’s 20’7″ length and 8’4″ beam, but it’s a dual console with a walk-through windshield, so its deck isn’t cut like the 200’s. If you aren’t sure which you own, check the model name on your registration or hull paperwork.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life) or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Both are water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the dual console of the same size, see our Robalo 207 DC Center Console cover; for the 18-footer, see the Robalo 180 Center Console cover.
