I had a 23 foot*1979 Robalo and it didn't have a bilge - foamed in hull.* Deck drained in splashwell and out drain holes.

I have a 1984 Robalo 20' cc and it is a cobia hull. 1982 was tricky since that's when cobia took things over, so it could possibly be either. However, from your description (no bilge - hole in well), it sounds exactly like my boat.

As far as Mr. Robalo, he knows all. He worked at the factory during those years. However, his back has been hurting so he can't sit at the computer. I tried to get in touch w/ him also with no luck. Try doing a search for some old threads! Maybe you can find something there.

according to NADA Robalo was built by AMF from 1970 to 1982. After 1982 they were built by Cobia until 1992, when US Marine took over.

So 1970 to 1982 AMF

1983 to 1992 Cobia

Go to Nada boat values, it's free, plug in your info. and it will give you some basic specs and value. Here's the link http://www.nadaguides.com/Values/Val...51240&Letter=R

I sent you a P.M.

I have tried e-mailing Mr. Robalo and havent had any replies. I have heard he is under the weather and not able to sit at his computer. I can try to answer any questions you have.
