My wife and I just bought ourselves a new (used) 2008 Rinker 280. Just wanted to say hi as I'm sure I'll be posting here! I've read some very helpful posts already!

Boating for our friends to the north,  what, 8 days? JK welcome. Lots of info here, at least 50% is correct! Pictures are required of new members...and mean the boat!

Yeah show us some hot boat photos. I have a 2007 280 so it's always nice to see some more 280's on here. This will be our 4th season with the boat and we love it!!

Thanks all for the warm welcome!  Here are some pictures of her. I am eagerly awaiting her delivery to me this coming Thursday.  It didn't come with a trailer and trailers are like gold in Ontario right now. 6 to 8 weeks for mine to arrive (I hope!).

Congratulations! In the picture with the swim platform there are two metal “clamps” to the right of the ladder.  What are they for?

Aqua_Aura

@LGboater those are dinghy davits so you can clip your dinghy into the boat

Great looking boat. Have a good time on her.  Welcome to the forum.

Nice boat, love the table. Do you have the BBQ to match that swim platform post hole?

Nice boat, great pictures.   That's a nice layout, condition looks really good.   You are going to make some great memories on the water.

Yea there was a bbq that came with it and I also have my Dickson from my last boat. Previous owner had a mount made for the rail on the starboard side of the swim platform as well.

Correct, it came with a dinghy but I don't have much use for it where we boat. Thinking it will post it for sale.

Welcome. We are in the same boat, so to speak. We got our '05 Rinker 360 this year and are first-time Rinker owners. Enjoy it.
