Rinker Hardtop Models?

dropout

Looking to upgrade the current Rinker to a hardtop model...What year did Rinker start coming out with the hardtops?

Also, what Rinker models have them?

Thanks.

Newer 310s have them as well, at least back to 2012, maybe earlier.  Also the 350s have them.

EC 310s have hard tops too.

Must have been special order

I know they were delivering them in '07 when my 370 was born, but when did they start?

I thought the regals had the Volvo out drive issue. At least the XDP, https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/576908-volvo-xdp-composite-outdrives.html

Have they brought down the cost of the hardtop ??   They were darn pricey back in 2007.  I saw what mine cost as a factory option, and I almost choked.

The hard tops are expensive but few do them like Rinker - aluminum. Most are stupid heavy fiberglass with supports all over the place blocking the view. The wide open look Rinker achieves is awesome.

.....and note the up-grade price to go from 496s to Volvo diesels WOW! When I bought my 2014 EC 360 the up-grade from 502s to Volvo or Merc Diesels was 56K - some quick math showed I would never make the money back....and that was paying cash! If I had to finance that 56K it would have gone from stupid to ridiculous.

Making money back?
we are talking about boats here lol

Michael T

@zaverin1 ....agreed - but - IMO -  there is rational spending of water money and irrational spending- the second is the one I try to avoid - 56K financed for diesels on an EC 360 - IMO - that's past irrational and well into stupid territory.

You changed ypur icon @Michael T

Michael T

No Steve - that just happened - probably a red face to express shame for selling my Rinkers!

Or the chemo

Handymans342

I miss you MT. Wish we could have met that day

Michael T

Yes, Steve.- it is certainly too bad that we did not get to meet. Truth be told I was not well during that trip. If we hadn't pre-paid  for the stay I would not have come. I wasn't able to even have a decent drink and would have made for poor company. But, who knows I'm wrapping-up the last chemo (this Wednesday) of the last couple of years which I hope gives a durable response for a couple of years. You never know I may make it back to your area. My neighbor owns a condo on a golf course in Ft.Meyers.
