My First Rinker!

edited June 2014 in Rinker Sport Boat Forum
Well the wife and I sold our travel trailer, and the very next day(yesterday) I bought this 2008 Festiva 212.  I love it so far!  5.7, 19 pitch alum prop, nice vinyl, and many other things.  The guy wanted out of boating fully, so I got everything...including a tube.  We have twin infant girls as our first kids, so I will need help picking out a new name.

So far I like "Outnumbered" and "Double Trouble"

    Welcome to the Rinker family!  I see the boat is a Michigan one, where are you?

     

    Just remember to do the nautical karma name changing thingy to ward off bad luck!  lol  You can google it, I'm sure there are a few you can use :)

    Girl's names are always good luck, maybe use a combination of both names somehow.  Nice boat with good power..Rinker made quite a few.
