2007 Rinker Captiva 262 Cuddy Description
-
Many people think an 18 to 20 foot
boat is the ideal cottage runabout,
but that size can start to feel pretty
small when you're out on Georgian Bay or in the
middle of Lake Muskoka.
With a boat like the Rinker Captiva 262
Cuddy, big water is more comfortable and the
accommodations are great. And, depending on
options, the Captiva 262 comes in around
$70,000; you certainly get a lot for the money.
Including the massive swim platform, the
262 is 28 feet, 2 inches long and has an 8 foot,
6 inch beam, making it trailerable without a
permit. At 5,350 pounds, you'll need a big tow
vehicle, but it would be a great boat for exploring
new areas.
The great thing about a cuddy cabin is that
you have sleeping accommodations for two and
a portable head with the option of a full holding
tank pump out system. There is a sink with
running water in the cockpit and a single-burner
stovetop that makes the boat legal for eating
and drinking onboard. The cuddy is also a
handy place to change for swimming or skiing,
or simply to get the kids out of the sun.
Rinker gives the 262 a cockpit to rival many
small cruisers. The standard transom walkthrough
is both convenient and it makes that
huge swim platform a part of the interior
accommodations. Across the engine compartment
is a large sun lounge with a clever backrest
that props up for tanning.
The cockpit has a full fibreglass liner with
snap-out carpet, a big circular trash locker, Ushaped
seating with a removable table and the
refreshment centre is located just behind the
helm seat. The huge radar arch is structural -
strong enough for a wakeboard tow pylon. It
also serves as a handy storage spot for the
Sunbrella material Bimini top.
Other nice features are the built-in cooler,
freshwater shower on the transom and transommounted
remote controls for the sound system.
But don't think accommodations are all the
Captiva 262 has to offer. This is really a performance
boat. The helm includes a racing-style
wheel, Danforth compass, instruments for tach,
speed, depth, trim, fuel and engine functions.
You get press-reset breakers, lit switches, another
remote control for the stereo and LED cockpit
lights for convenience when night cruising.
The flip-up seat bolster needed a bit more
padding and in really rough running the windshield
header was a little closer than I'd like, but
overall this is a boat you'll love running.
The test boat had a 6.2 L MerCruiser at
320 hp driving a Bravo 3 drive and with
Corsa Quick and Quiet exhaust. At idle
with the exhaust closed, I recorded 71 dbA
and a comfortable 88 dbA at full throttle.
On test day, the boat was running in a particularly
nasty chop on Lake Ontario and
spent a bit of time airborne, but it made
good use of the 21-degree deadrise deep-V
hull. For a boat this size, acceleration was
strong, reaching 25 mph in only 6.3 seconds
and topping out at 45 mph doing 5000
rpm. By opening the exhaust, I picked up
another 2 mph for a top reading of 47 in
spite of the rough conditions. Handling was
very good at all speeds.
The Rinker Captiva 62 is quick and
comfortable enough to really expand the
horizons of your boating enjoyment.
