Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 vs Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 vs Rinker 350 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 350 Express Cruiser 2007 measures 37,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 at 31,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 tips the scales at 1 555 lbs — 1 444 lbs less than the Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 at 111 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 350 Express Cruiser 2007 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 carries 235 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006. 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 350 Express Cruiser 2007 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rinker 300 Express Cruiser 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
