The Rinker Express Cruiser 310 2013 is a deep-V design and the Rinker Fiesta Vee 342 2004 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Rinker Fiesta Vee 342 2004 measures 37,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 3,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rinker Express Cruiser 310 2013 at 33,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rinker Fiesta Vee 342 2004 tips the scales at 14 280 lbs - 705 lbs less than the Rinker Express Cruiser 310 2013 at 13 575 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rinker Fiesta Vee 342 2004 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Rinker Express Cruiser 310 2013 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rinker Fiesta Vee 342 2004 could be the deciding factor.
