Hi all,

Just joined the group. Our Names are John & Tina.
We've have had a Rinker 270 for a couple of years, but somehow I've
fancied going back to something a little sportier for a while now. We
popped to the London Boat show on the last day thinking I'd come away
with a new boat polish or something, but instead came across the
Rinker stand. I didn't even know they were going to be there. Seeing
the sportsboats on the stand took me back to my first cuddy and the
fun I used to have whipping about in it when I should of been at
work. My only reservations were the thoughts of going back to walking
down the pontoon with a portaloo or having to heave an anchor line in
against a strong current. This in mind Robin (who insidently was
really switched on and a nice gut to boot) showed me the 282cc in the
the new brochure - avaialable with windlass, enclosed head AND A
QUICK AND QUIET EXHAUST !!! Need I say more ??
So to cut a long story short we've ordered one for April delivery.
I'll be really sorry to see the 270 go, people are're always
commenting on what a lovely boat it is - but also looking forward to
looking (and sounding) a bit flash when turning up in Marinas.
p.s. We won't have the room for our nearly new (used once)inflatable
tender, so if anyone's interested I be willing to to give it away for
a song.
Look forward to talking to you all.
John & Tina
