Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 tops out at 380 hp. Engine specs for the Rinker 246 CC 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 carries 89 gallons versus 75 gallons in the Rinker 246 CC 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Rinker 246 CC 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Rinker 290 Express Cruiser 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rinker 246 CC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
