Their express cruisers in particular have built a loyal following for delivering impressive amenities and usability in manageable sizes.

The 2009 Rinker 280 Express Cruiser is a versatile and well-laid-out mid-size cruiser that blends performance with overnight capability. Featuring a single stern drive configuration, powered by a 350 MAG Mercruiser engine, this model delivers reliable cruising performance with efficient handling. The cockpit is designed for entertaining, with a spacious U-shaped aft lounge, convertible sun pad, wet bar, and double helm seat with bolster. Below deck, the cabin offers impressive volume for its class, including a forward V-berth, mid-cabin double berth, full galley, and enclosed head with shower. Compared to earlier years, the 2009 model benefits from refined interior finishes, updated upholstery, and improved helm ergonomics.
