Rinker Festiva 212 Specs/information

[chartersj]

Good day, i am looking for information on the Rinker 212 festiva cuddy. Where these decent boats with any issues? I cannot find how much dead rise there hulls have. I ride in the ocean and my searay 200 with 15 degrees dead rise tends to pound more often then not. I am also considering a baja 232 but im not sure if im ready to move up to a big block fuel bill. Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

It will be little if no improvement in rougher condition than your SR was. Here is a quote from a 212 owner "The boat handles well in smooth water at high speeds. When waters are rougher, this boat has a tendency to smack down after hitting a wave or wake, and send loose items flying."
The Baja will be a night and day difference, but not a boat I would want to maintain. Look instead for a Rinker 232 Captiva Cuddy

Just curious as to why the baja would be more maintenance? Most captiva 232's also have the 7.4L engine as well dont they?

I was also looking at a 03 maxum 2100 sc. I see they have 20 degrees at the transome. I think 23 foot is just getting a little bigger than i want because i have to trailer everytime i go.

I trailer my 24' everywhere
