Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2006 vs Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 320 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 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2006 at 33,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 tips the scales at 1 555 lbs — 319 lbs less than the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2006 at 1 236 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 375 hp, the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 has a 95-hp advantage over the Rinker 320 Express Cruiser 2006's 280-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rinker 350 Express Cruiser 2007 carries 235 gallons versus 165 gallons in the Rinker 320 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 320 Express Cruiser 2006 caps at 10. 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 320 Express Cruiser 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
