Finally picked up our new to us first boat. 1994 Rinker 17ft Captiva with a 125 merc on her. Have been emailing and talking the owner for months now waiting for the weather to get nice. Very low hours in great shape had the motor checked out and everything checked out great. Took her out for the trial today and it was great-family can't wait to do some tubin and cruisin. Was really looking for a 17-18ft with a outboard and found this one and for a 94 it was to nice to pass up. Happy to be part of the boating world finally.:

Nice looking rig, especially for a 94. Its amazing how much fun you can get out of one of these used, for such little money.

I got my 19 foot 95 last year for what I thought was a good deal and we've used it A LOT. The most fun my family has gotten out of that much money EVER.

Nice boat, Rinker is a local company to me, about 10 miles away, so I see a ton of them running around, they seem to be a really good boat, enjoy.
