Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 vs Rinker 400 Express Cruiser 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 vs Rinker 400 Express Cruiser 2009 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 400 Express Cruiser 2009 measures 41,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 37,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 4,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker 400 Express Cruiser 2009 tips the scales at 1 968 lbs — 1 784 lbs less than the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 184 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 370 Express Cruiser 2007 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Rinker 400 Express Cruiser 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 carries 235 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Rinker 400 Express Cruiser 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 12 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 400 Express Cruiser 2009 at 41,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Rinker 370 Express Cruiser 2007 at 4,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
