Rinker 250V 25 foot sports cruiser, single Mercruiser 175hp petrol,
about 10 years old. It's on my "long list" for a possible purchase,
but it would be nice to have some background first before I shortlist
it and do the legwork.

Purpose - coastal cruising/fishing, possibly further afield.

Any advice/experience/opinions?

Modern Rinker boats represent reasonable quality and excellent value,
but those of 10 years ago... :-(

Thanks for that Marshall. I've been to see it now, and it's as you
imply: loks great in the photos and from 100m away, but close up and
on board - very tatty. Love the cockpit layout, but otherwise - no
thanks.

Much appreciated.
