Alright!

 

Thanks to the advice given to me by several members, I pulled the trigger on a new-to-me 1993 Robalo 2120 w/ a 90's 200 merc offshore (i haven't sorted out the year of that beast motor yet)

Hey congrats! She looks good. Hey one thing I would check out, in looking at the pictures of the bow, it looks to me as though the distance from the break of the hull to the top of the deck appear to be a little big. Sometimes these boats get a little water in them and the hull separates a little at the junction, which resides under the rub rail. Try prying up on the rub rail about 4-5' back from the bow on either side, look up under the rub rail and see if the junction opens at all.

This hardly ever happens but, I disagree with ya Bill. I zoomed way in and studied the pics, if you look where the port side bow cleat is situated, you can see the true shape. It's tricky and without that cleat it would be impossible to tell the difference and it would look way tall. Looks ok IMO

Welcome :)

Nice clean looking boat, and a fine looking dog.

No mark, that's great. I just thought the rub rail had a funny (inconsistent) line on the starboard side and the overall height of the flat vertical surface looked large to me. They are probably bigger on later models then they were on mine.

 

Glad it's all good!! Enjoy!
