Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 360 Express Cruiser 2006 vs Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 360 Express Cruiser 2006 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 360 Express Cruiser 2006 measures 39,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 35,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 4,0 feet (2007). At 184 lbs and 184 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 375 hp for the Rinker 360 Express Cruiser 2006 and 375 hp for the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 235 gal and 235 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 360 Express Cruiser 2006 caps at 11. 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 360 Express Cruiser 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
