Yes, it is possible to fit a hot water system to a Rinker Fiesta Vee 240 or similar boat but it is expensive. We priced to do one recently, I will look up the details and advise the approx. cost in a day or so.
Concerning some of the older Rinker models such as the 235, 260, 265 and many more, these are all typical Rinker, with heavy hulls for sea use rather than lakes and sound basic design. An older Rinker will be OK to buy as far as the boat itself is concerned but it is the engine you need to be more concerned about. I would recommend to everyone considering buying a boat more than 6 years old to have a proper survey done and an engineers opinion of the engine. Obviously a full service history would be reassuring.
Also of considerable importance is being sure the boat you are buying legally belongs to the person selling it to you and that he/she has sufficient documentary evidence to prove it. Remember debts can attach to boats and not their owners, so along with your new boat might come a surprise bill for 12 months mooring and an engine service unpaid by the previous owner.
Buyer Beware!
Using a proper broker or main dealer will eliminate these risks. If any one has any questions about legal title for boats etc then post your question on this group and we shall do our best to answer them.

not already done so.
I wonder if Graham or anyone else would like to give there views on
these boats, as they're maybe a good starter boat for someone.
