Sooner or later, almost every boater begins to entertain thoughts of
spending serious time on board - not just a night or a weekend - but a week or two, or maybe even a
whole month, cruising up and down the Intracoastal Waterway, or heading for an exotic port of call.
That's when you start looking at cruisers, boats designed to keep you and your passengers cozy and
comfy in just about any weather or water condition, for as long as you want to stay on board. A
step up from a cuddy cabin and a step shy of a yacht, the cruiser is, for many boaters, the
ultimate on-water machine.
Rinker Captiva 280 EC
Coolest Feature:The Rinker 280 EC defies the typical storage space in express cruisers by allowing you to bring just about everything you want along for the ride.
Families Will Love:
A pair of optional TV/DVD-player combos ($1,414 each) - one in the salon and one in the aft cabin.
Top Amenities:
Sirius® satellite radio with six-month subscription; Corian® "Sahara" galley lids and surfaces; 2-cubic foot refrigerator/freezer combo; stainless-steel galley sink with pressurized water; pressurized transom shower with hot and cold water; Faria gauges at helm.
Best Reason To Buy:
