Rinker 310 EC 2010 vs Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Rinker 310 EC 2010 and the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Rinker 310 EC 2010 at 33,3 ft versus Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 at 34,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 tips the scales at 12 360 lbs - 260 lbs less than the Rinker 310 EC 2010 at 12 100 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.

Both boats are rated for 10 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Rinker 310 EC 2010 and Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Rinker 310 EC 2010 vs Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Rinker 310 EC 2010 or the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009?
The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 is the longer of the two at 34,0 feet overall. The Rinker 310 EC 2010 comes in at 33,3 feet, making it roughly 0,8 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Rinker 310 EC 2010 or the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009?
For trailering, the Rinker 310 EC 2010 has the edge at 12 100 lbs dry weight versus 12 360 lbs for the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Rinker 310 EC 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 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 2009 measures 136" wide, compared to 126" for the Rinker 310 EC 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Rinker 310 EC 2010 or the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009?
The Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 has the bigger tank at 165 gallons, versus 150 gallons on the Rinker 310 EC 2010. That 15-gallon difference translates to roughly 45–75 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Rinker 310 EC 2010 and Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Rinker 310 EC 2010 and the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2009 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.
