360 Express Cruiser

The Rinker 360 Express Cruiser (called the Rinker 350 EC in 2008) strikes the right balance between size, 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 360 rides on a solid fiberglass hull with moderate beam and relatively high freeboard. The styling is contemporary—slightly on the conservative side—and the accommodations are similar to those found in competitive 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—a great place to take a break from swimming or diving. Lacking side decks, a walk-through windshield provides access to the bow. Below deck, the 360’s well-appointed interior includes a double bed forward, convertible mid-cabin lounge, full-service galley, and convertible dinette—comfortable accommodations for six adults. MerCruiser 300hp engines cruise at 22–23 knots (mid 30s top).
