2008 Rinker 330 Express Cruiser Description
-
When a boat company earns a reputation for value that means
delivering the most boat for the bucks its reputation for quality sometimes
suffers. While the well-known Rinker Boat Company has been widely honoured for delivering great value, it better find some room on its trophy shelf for more design and customersatisfaction awards.
The new-for-2008 Rinker 330 is a spacious express packed with cruiser-friendly features, standard equipment that makes an options list almost redundant, careful construction and stylish contemporary design.
The 330 is part of a new generation of Rinkers that have sleek, stylish designs, but also come fully equipped. As well, the 330 has some up-to-the-minute innovations the kind that move so quickly through the marine industry their origins become blurred.
One of those innovations is the 330s extrawide radar arch. With a curving eyebrow forward, the arch, a clear Isinglass panel and the windscreen form a single, sleek design line. The archs width also means it takes less canvas
and frames to form a Bimini, and side and back canvas panels are better supported.
The 330s dual shore-power outlets, one complete set for each side of the boat, add convenience and cut out deck clutter. Below decks, theres a wide-open cabin with entertaining or lounging space for a crowd, with sleeping space and privacy as an easy-conversion option. The mid-cabin lounge and salon sofa have pull-outs that ease conversion to berths. The conversions also maintain storage space.
The boats decor combines comfort and practicality. Bulkhead and overhead coverings are easy-clean vinyl in appealing colours and textures. The test boat has one of the few options I would recommendteak-and-holly
flooring that adds comfort and warmth. The other two options on the test boat, a bow thruster and filler cushion for the aft cockpit lounge, may be redundant. The cabin conversions provide plenty of berth space and twin
sterndrives make the boat quite manoeuvrable.
Without options, but with its long list of standard features, the 330 test boat costs $173,000 with twin MerCruiser 350 MAG MPIs great value for such good design and what appears to be very careful construction.
Out on the water, the boats also a winner, with a top speed of 41.5 mph at 5000 rpm and cruising speeds of 24.5 mph at 3500 and 31.2 mph at 4000 rpm. Test day dished up some mid-sized chop and a few monster tour boat wakes, enough for the 330 to prove its performance in lumpy conditions.
Rinkers new 330 Express Cruiser is proof that a company dedicated to building in value can also create cruisers with the latest design features and great performance.
