The Rinker 360 Fiesta Vee (called the 370 Express in 2007–08; 380 Express in 2009) was among the most affordable boats in her class following her introduction in 2005. With her crisp styling, brisk performance and comfortable accommodations, the 360 Express easily held her own against many of her more expensive competitors. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a moderate 12'3"" beam, the interior of the Rinker 360 differs from the typical midcabin boat in that the forward stateroom is separated from the salon by a solid wood bulkhead door rather than just a curtain. The salon galley is large enough for serious meal-preparation activities, and the midcabin—partially obstructed by the companionway steps—is unusually spacious. The head compartment is also very large and includes a separate shower enclosure. On deck, the cockpit has a full wet bar with sink, icemaker, refrigerator, and built-in blender. The entire aft deck can be raised on hydraulic rams to reach the engines.

Accommodations

One undeniable virtue of up-against-the-transom, stern-drive powerplants is the extra interior space they typically add. The 360's layout is conventional, meaning there's a midcabin, master stateroom forward, and galley/saloon/head area in between, all with Formica paneling on cabinets and bulkheads that blends splendidly with the solid-cherry trim. The stern-drive configuration stretches this standardized arrangement in all sorts of ways.

The midcabin's immense. Not only does it offer a giant U-shape lounge that easily converts to a double berth via a hi-lo table, it boasts headroom of approximately five feet and close proximity to the large, separate, shower stall-equipped head. Moreover, there's a hanging locker on the port side, unrestricted access to the rest of the boat for a bright, open ambiance, and a changing area forward that a 5'11" guy like me can actually stand in.

The bulkheaded master is also immense. It has a stand-up changing area, a voluminous hanging locker on the port side, a couple of opening ports, and a small hatch forward, just over the head of the offset double berth, for access to the chain/rode locker. Toss in a screened, opening hatch overhead, a matched set of reading lights, and a pair of coaxial stereo speakers, and we're talking an eminently comfortable nighttime or naptime sanctuary.

But here's the kicker. The saloon/galley's big enough and sophisticated enough to offer entertainment options that go wa-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-y-y beyond the ordinary. For starters, there's the 15-inch Sharp flat-panel TV with DVD hookup—a little small perhaps, but still viewable from everywhere that's comfortable. Then there's the stereo system. The 360's got a deluxe AM/FM stereo/CD whopper from Sony with a six-CD changer, a hulking 920-watt amplifier, six big coaxial speakers strategically located both below decks and above an exceptionally woofy subwoofer, and a couple of RM-XM10 remotes to keep tabs on the tunes no matter where you are.
