Not to say that an individual, nine year old 1998 Rinker couldn't be a
better boat than an individual, nine year old 1998 Sea Ray, of
course... but I'd be surprised to learn that they were generally
better boats when new.

I have two neighbors with late model Rinker 34 express cruisers, one
bough used, one bought new. They are both happy with the boats and
they seem to be decent quality. However the neighbor with the new
boat has had a lot of dealer service issues which might be a local
problem.

My perception is that they do not ride as well in a chop as a
comparable Searay, probably because of less deadrise in the hull but I
don't know the exact numbers.
