2000 Rinker 192 Captiva?

Question

My wife and I are wanting to buy our first boat. I have driven plenty of boats but never owned one. I found a 2000 Rinker that seems to be in good shape(from the pics anyway). It has the 4.3 motor, cover, bimini top, cd player and is 19ft. Any opinions? I have two kids and a dog. Will it be big enough? Enough HP? Good boat in general? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes Rinker is a good boat . But a 10 year old boat is a ten year old boat . It uses a Volvo or Mercruiser just like every other boat. Having bought a very low hour boat 9 years old I can say you need to prepared for lower unit maintainance issues along with possible belts , hoses , possibly a switch etc. Just be prepared f0r some of this buy or at seasons end .
