Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 246 CC 2010 vs Rinker 370 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 246 CC 2010 measures 26,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 22,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 4,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 246 CC 2010 tips the scales at 505 lbs — 321 lbs more than the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 184 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 370 Express Cruiser 2007 tops out at 375 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 370 Express Cruiser 2007 carries 235 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 370 Express Cruiser 2007 is rated for 12 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 370 Express Cruiser 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 4,0 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.
