330-340 Express Cruiser

The Rinker 330 Express Cruiser (called the 340 EC in 2010–14) strikes a good balance between affordability and value. She has most of the features found in the more expensive boats in her class (Sea Ray, Regal, Four Winns, etc.), but the high-end amenities are fewer and the finish less refined. Like all Rinker express models, the 330 rides on a solid fiberglass hull with moderate beam and relatively high freeboard. The styling is contemporary—slightly on the conservative side—and the mid-cabin layout is similar to most express cruisers her size. The cockpit consists of wraparound rear seating, a refreshment center with sink and storage, a portside lounger, and a double helm seat with flip-up bolster. Note the aft facing “rumble seat” built into the transom—nice touch. Lacking side decks, a walk-through windshield provides access to the bow. Below deck, the 330’s well-appointed interior includes a double bed forward, convertible mid-cabin lounge, full-service galley, and a convertible dinette—comfortable accommodations for six. The Rinker 330/340 EC will cruise at 24–25 knots (mid 30s top) with twin 280hp Volvo I/Os.
