30' Rinker 300 Fiesta Vee Cruisers

A good-selling model for Rinker during the 1990s, the 300 Fiesta Vee owed her popularity to a very affordable price, a comfort- able interior, and surprisingly good performance. Hull construction is solid fiberglass, and the Fiesta Vee’s generous 10-foot, 6-inch beam results in spacious cabin accommodations well suited to the needs of a small family. Her midcabin floorplan is arranged in the normal manner with double berths fore and aft, a convertible di- nette in the salon, fully equipped galley, and a very spacious head compartment. Storage—including the aircraft-style overhead lock- ers—is excellent. Note that the midcabin, with its removable table, is a separate seating area during the day, while a privacy curtain separates it from the main salon at night. With its integrated swim platform and bow pulpit, the 300 Fiesta Vee looks like a larger boat. Lounge seating in the cockpit can easily accommodate six adults, however narrow side decks makes a trip to the foredeck a bit of a challenge. Note, too, that the fit and finish is unimpressive. Among several engine choices, twin 260hp 5.7-liter MerCruiser stern- drives cruise the Rinker 300 in the low 20s while delivering a top speed in excess of 35 knots.
