Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 measures 34,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 246 CC 2010 at 26,2 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 tips the scales at 1 236 lbs — 731 lbs less than the Rinker 246 CC 2010 at 505 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 tops out at 300 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 320 Express Cruiser 2007 carries 165 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 320 Express Cruiser 2007 is rated for 10 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 320 Express Cruiser 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 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.

Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 — Common Questions

The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 is the longer of the two at 34,0 feet overall. The Rinker 246 CC 2010 comes in at 26,2 feet, making it roughly 7,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Rinker 246 CC 2010 or the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007?
For trailering, the Rinker 246 CC 2010 has the edge at 505 lbs dry weight versus 1 236 lbs for the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

How many people can each boat hold?
The Rinker 246 CC 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 measures 136" wide, compared to 102" for the Rinker 246 CC 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 has the bigger tank at 165 gallons, versus 75 gallons on the Rinker 246 CC 2010. That 90-gallon difference translates to roughly 270–450 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes — both the Rinker 246 CC 2010 and the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2007 are built by Rinker. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
