Looking to buy a Rinker

mscarie

looking in the areas of Maryland or south Florida.  Want to do the ICW trip.  So at least a 33 footer I'm thinking.

342 is what you need.

Lol.  Pictures?   Price?

Handy was making a general recommendation to look for a Rinker 342.  If you check boattrader.com you should find some for sale.

Yea boattrader and yacht world has lots of 342s and other rinkers in your area.

I agree 342 is what you want for a long haul.

Thank you guys.

342 sounds great.  Will it handle the coast in the big water also?

Very well plows right thru like a cruise ship but only if it has diesels

Handles Lake Michigan big water..that's rougher than the ocean for anything you would venture out in.  342 is a great boat.

Here is a fresh water 342 right outside of Pittsburgh.

And here is a fresh water 320 south of Pittsburgh. I know this one. It was docked at my old marina.

We have members on here that have taken the 342 around the great loop.  It really is a great size boat for that.  & the only boat of its size that has a full size separate shower in the head.  Quite an economical boat as well (Don't let Handy tell you that you need diesels )

Diesels will sink in ruff water however...
