Adios Rinker family

After owning and enjoying a 232 cc and then a 270, we have sadly left the Rinker family.  We have moved from the Midwest to the Texas coast and our needs have changed.  A four stroke Yamaha has replaced my 8.1 Volvo and dual fish boxes have replaced the dual berths.

As I said, we totally enjoyed our two Rinkers and I will continue to refer the brand to anyone looking for a great boat at a reasonable price!

More importantly, I will miss the wealth of knowledge I received from this and previous forum.  During my boat search I visited several other forums and found the quality of data/ info weak compared to the quality that is shared on this site.  

I will still check in from time to time as old habits die hard but in the meanwhile I wish you all many perfect days of enjoying your Rinkers!!!!

    Thanks for the well wishes!

    RY- I have fished from the 270 many times but our needs have changed.  We were living 135 miles from our boat so the cabin was necessary.  We now live 5 miles from the boat so cabin not so necessary.  Fish boxes, live wells, and the efficiency of the four stroke outboard made the decision for us.  Don't get me wrong, I will miss the comfort of our cruiser (especially the a/c).
