I am seriously considering purchasing a 2012 196 4.3L Merc
Rinker is new to Canada and as such I  do not have any experience with the brand except Boattest.com's review
Does anyone have an opinion on this boat or Rinker in general regarding their overall satisfaction
Appreciate your comments
Thanks

Ringer has been around in Canada for a long time, maybe just not in your area. I think you'll get a very positive response from all the owners here, we love our Rinkers!

ctrader,

I think you will really like that boat. If that is a 4.3L MPI, that should move that 196 along nicely. Add a stainless steel prop and you should get a few mph on the top end. I am on my 3rd Rinker bowrider and I can honestly say they make a great boat.

Good Luck,
Bob
