Prompted by the thread when did you join the Rinker Forum I ask: When did you purchase your first Rinker and what model was it? Also how many Rinkers have you owned etc. etc.

    Let's see I bought my first boat in 1999 and was eying up a Rinker 310 in 2001 that was part of our little boating group.  I knew that boat inside and out well before I bought mine.

    2006 - 2012      2002 310 Rinker FV

    @Michael T shouldn't you add an entry here?  Perhaps for one of the best-outfitted boats that ever left the factory?

    I bought my 2003 Captiva 232 in October 2012, and I still have it and use it about twice a week. I’ve been out the last 3 days on it.  It loaded those pictures out of order, but the first one, and the one in the shop, are when I bought it. The rest are how she still looks today. 


    Ok ok ok I will buy it. You twisted my arm!

    @LaRea..... yes, but - for once - I was keeping my mouth shut and just enjoying all of the other forum members' boats (what a bunch of beauties) as I have posted so many pictures of my Rinkers - but - I did love the extra touches that Randy Rinker allowed on that EC360 like the Axius on the helm and the Diamante Frost seat coverings. IMO there is no better boat for anywhere near the money. Some of the slightly annoying things like wire looming that could be tidier and a little sloppy caulking sometimes are all things we have learned to clean-up.

    Also it didn't stay "out of the box" for long as @MarkB soon converted it into a Yee hauler!
