just introducing myself as I've just bought a 2005 Fiesta Vee 5.7 DP
Have the boat out the water to make her like new inside and out. Got new manifolds and risers going on and reupholstering the cabin. New decals all round etc. Mooring the boat in our new marina in Sussex England. 
Must say I fell in love with her straight away! Had a Larson 220 before that 

look forward to asking some good tips here

best

Russ

    Welcome. I am also in the middle of a slight restoration on my 270.  You'll find everything you need right here. Lots of great archived info on the 270 and if you don't see it there's quite a bit of participation  on this forum.  good luck

    and yet another 270 owner here, welcome! Most of us "tinker" on our boats a bit so you will find a lot of information here, do searches to topics and there is also an archive to search as well.  Good luck! Great boat, I did a lot of research of brands before I selected Rinker and very happy with the decision.

    From rasbury's post comes this phrase,  I like to "tinker with my Rinker"  Welcome aboard Russ.

    Welcome.  I used to have a 2006 270.  Great boat.  This forum was a big reason I felt comfortable moving up to a larger vessel.  Lots of good people and information.  I remember when Ras joined not long ago.  I can't believe he has 1700 comments now, and all the wiser because of it.

    Welcome!
    Going on my 3rd season with my 2003, 270 and we love the boat. Easy to maintain and lots of room for a single engine cruiser.
