Both the Rinker Captiva 216 BR 2013 and the Rinker Captiva 220 MTX 2012 are deep-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 Captiva 216 BR 2013 at 21,0 ft versus Rinker Captiva 220 MTX 2012 at 22,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker Captiva 216 BR 2013 tips the scales at 4 195 lbs - 320 lbs more than the Rinker Captiva 220 MTX 2012 at 3 875 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 Captiva 220 MTX 2012 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Rinker Captiva 216 BR 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 41 gal and 39 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 Captiva 216 BR 2013 and Rinker Captiva 220 MTX 2012 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.
