Default Wanting Rinker 262 cockpit in a ~30'. Does it exis

We currently own an 05' Rinker 232, 350 mag, bravo 3. I love the layout but want a ~30', ~ 60 mph boat with a large cockpit; like a Rinker 262, seats 6-8, sleeps two. Must have swim platform, walk through wind shield, capt's call, sink, vacuflush, sunpad walk around, and a/c would be a plus. Basically hunting a Rinker 262 w/ larger cabin that runs ~ 60. Twins would do away with walk around, but that's a fair trade off and secure the 60 mph. Would prefer BB single. All for 50k. Does this exist?


Looking to comfortably do a Bahamas trip.

All those requirements in a 30+ ft boat won't fit in any single engine boat unless it's a trawler or powered by wind.

Formula makes a cool 33ft crossover like you describe that will likely hit 60 with the proper TWIN engines. Sunsation might make one? Nordic? The other option is a O/B powered 30-35ft center console with the small bow cabin (wellcraft 302 is perfect)

292 Baja Islander sounds like what you are describing. Doesn't have a cabin though, but I guess you could sleep on it uncomfortably if you wanted!

Checkout Chaparral and Monterey, Cruiser also makes a very nice 328

Formula 280ss with twins should fit the bill, you should be able to find one with the features you want. (I don't think a boat with all the stuff you want is going to run 60 with a single.)

Check these kids out.....they did a run all through the Bahamas from Florida on a jet ski and a jet boat! While not my first choice, they made it work and judging from the videos they had a blast!
