Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 310 EC 2010 vs Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Rinker 310 EC 2010 against a deep vee Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 tops out at 430 hp. Engine specs for the Rinker 310 EC 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Rinker 310 EC 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 310 EC 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rinker 310 EC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Rinker 310 EC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 33,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rinker Captiva 246 BR 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
