    I am willing to bet that you can get much more than 54. Would not surprise me if you hit close to 60....

    Luckydog I would never try to get you in trouble with the wifey however after every use you should run at WOT for a minute or so just to make sure everything is OK with the boat. I do it on my 342. If you cant get to top speed or full RPM's then something my be starting to go wrong and you can catch it before it becomes a bigger problem....... Just say'n.....

    .....and my Admiral likes to drive too. Any guy who doesn't think the gals don't like to pin the throttles on a pair of 377s is missing an opportunity. In my csse it's a set of  502s and the Admiral does like to wind them up - she grins while doing it. I knew all would be okay when I heard her tell a guy at a dock one time - yeah they're 502s do like gas but if you can't afford to pay you shouldn't try to play. When the Admirals are involved the cash flow improves. LOL.....BTW I wasn't being a smart a** with the comment on getting the Admirals involved. I found with any of my hobbies if I want the Admiral to spend time with me I 'm smart to make sure she's right in on the decisions too - it's just common sense, right? With the 360 I asked her what she wanted to accessorize. She wanted matching towels, me to put some sea shell picture boxes up, she wanted a cappuchino maker. Things like that. Hey, that was all good. I got some underwater lights. She's happy and I'm happy..... best of all she wants to spend as much time on the boat as possible. That makes me REAL happy. Happy Admiral happy boat!

    OK OK maybe I should update you, as of last year my wife has never been on a boat well one time with her brother and freak her out so bad that she never been boating sins, until last year. She was the one that suggested buying a boat (for me) knowing that I was raised on the water, saying that I made her dreams come true with the farm and horses and this would be for me. Well she ended up loving the water (boating) she is always saying lets go out, but I take it slow as to not scare her, I’ll give an example the first time I put the boat on plane she thaut  we would flip yes a Rinker 312 flipping. So if going a bit slower that’s what I do, she is getting better every time and she even likes to driving, win win for me. I do agree (Happy Admiral happy boat!)

    I don't see many Rinkers around my area ,before I bought mine I never heard of Rinkers but am share glad I found my boat! I now will only look for Rinker if I ever urge to purchase another boat in future. Everyone who looks at it loves it ,I have a couple buddies who own sea rays who say when it's time to go bigger they will be looking for a Rinker,especially for the price.LOVE RINKER!!!
