Hi All, I joined this group on the advice of Martin as I am currently seeking to buy a 25 foot sports boat. I have seen a couple of 1997 240 Fiesta Vee's on...
David The Rinker 240 Fiesta Vee is a good sea boat and we did not have any problems with them. Expect to pay between GBP16000 and GBP20000 for a boat kept...
Hi Graham, Many thanks for your response. I am contemplating mooring on Windermere, so performance will not be a major issue, but no of berths and facilities...
David Yes if any Rinker 240's come in I will contact you. If you see any other boats that you fancy and are not Rinker then feel free to email me and I will...
Just a quick welcome to all new members, there seems to have been a few recently which is great. Great to see first time buyers choosing Rinker to start off...
Hi David, Welcome to the group, I read with interest Grahams reply to your question, and one point that interested me was the fact he said Most 240's WOULD NOT...
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...
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING BUYING A USED RINKER BOAT (or any other US made boat) The EU inspired Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) came into...
Hi Graham, I think this is a very important topic which frightens people like me who are looking to buy a used sportscruiser. Is it safe to say that if a boat...
Hello ALL, I recently joined this group although I am located in Malta. I hope that that is fine and that you do not mind. I have just received my boat which I...
Hello Jesmond, Its good to have members further afield and to get their response to the Rinker range, both new and used craft. You are like so many people who...
Hello Trevor, Thanks a lot for your reply. I will check about the law you mentioned. We are now in the EU so it must apply to us as well. Regarding the wiring,...
Dear All, Do you know of any Rinker Parts website where one can order on line? I might be needing an engine temp gauge for my Fiesta Vee 265 from 1995. Thanks...
Hi All, Last Saturday I was washing the toilet/shower of my Rinker Fiesta Vee265 from 1995 and noticed that the carpet just outside the entrance to the toilet...
Does the carpet also get wet when you use the shower? Also, check to see that the automatic shower drain pump is working. Tell me your answers and we will try...
Your nearest Rinker dealer can probably help you get the right temp gauge. He will need to know which brand it is and what it looks like. A photo would help...
Hello Graham and thank you for your reply. Yes, the carpet gets wet when I use the shower. The shower drain is working cause I can hear the pump - mine is...
You need to turn the shower on, have a large amount of water on the shower floor then turn the pump on and then look at the pump to see if the area around the...
Dear Graham, Thank you for your interest in my problem. The carpet gets wet before I start the pump. It gets wet at the lowest point under the door. I am...
Hello Graham, We have only one Rinker dealer where I am who is poorly stocked and he has to order almost everything. So why bother to order from him if there...
Jesmond The problem we have is that we became the Rinker dealer in 1997 and have no experience of the 265. I think your best plan is to gain as much access as...
Hi, I have just purchased a 2003 Rinker 232 Captiva cuddy with 5.0 MPI and Bravo 3. Spotted this site and being an Internet junkie and boataholic it seemed...
Hi SW, Well what can we say, what a fine fine boat you have just purchased. I too have the exact same boat, engine and leg, bought new in 2003, so i know the...
Compared to your Four Winns the Rinker 232 with its after plane hull and 21degree deadrise will seem terrific. If you have any questions about your boat then...
Thanks for the welcome, where can I get a club burgee ? And the first of many questions - how bad is the MPI fuel consumption on an average trip (compared to...
The figures from tests done by Rinker indicate you can expect your 232 to consume about 30% more than an 18ft. bow rider running at cruising speed. Keep in...
Hi Steve, Graham being a Rinker dealer will know these boats better than anyone else, his reply to your question is excelent. The figures quoted are i think...
I've just noticed the pictures in the ablum 'Spirits Fly' I take it thats your new boat??? If so, i am jealous all ready, YOU'VE got the 'Corsa Quick and Quiet...
