2012 Captiva 216

Why can't I find parts or info on this model? I purchased it as a repo with 80 hrs for $10k. Does this compare to another model?

Just curious about what is available just in case I need something. And if I want to change anything. This is our first boat.

Well Rinker can't get you much. If you need anything you will have to go to the manufacture of the item. 
Greatlakesskipper.com is a good resource.

cascadedepot.com is another good resource.

Congratulations on your buy, and welcome to the forum. 

For most boats, including Rinkers, parts tend to be off-the-shelf items that you buy directly from the manufacturer or distributer - not from the boat builder.  It's not like a car where you go to the Chevy dealership and ask them for a wiper arm for a 2015 Tahoe.  

Rinker can help with some things such as part numbers for canvas.  If you email them using customerservice@rinkerboats.com with specific questions, they'll usually respond within a day or two.  Include your hull ID number. 

And you can always come here with questions.

What Do You need exactly?

Thanks. I've looked through their site. Still not much for the 216.

Again, what are you looking for? A manual? Spare parts??

Yes, what parts are you looking for? Rinker can provide fabrics and some other stuff, but it is less expensive to go to the part manufacturer for other stuff. Engine parts are easily obtained online, whether it is a Merc or Volvo. Replacementboatparts.com has some stuff as well.

Thank you for the comments. I'm not looking for anything specific. Just trying to get an idea on future costs.

@kglassner, have had many Rinkers and been on more. The 216 is a real nice boat. The price you paid is super decent. It should be a lot of fun bringing it up to your standard! This place is a great forum to get ideas/support!

Budget $5000 a year and you are good.

Now that's funny
