Rinker 270 Fiesta Vee

For sale is a 2003 Rinker Fiesta Vee. This would be a great project boat for someone with the equipment and means to fix it. Unfortunately classifieds board only lets you add 24 pictures.

THE GOOD:

2003 Rinker Fiesta Vee with 509 hours on the boat (the hour meter currently reads 10.9 because I needed to have the tachometer replaced, I still have the old one and it shows the previous hours) The engine computer reads 467.

Mercuriser 6.2 MPI Horizon engine, Bravo 3 outdrive replaced 3 years ago by the previous owner when I purchased the boat, it still has the barcode stickers on it.

New manifolds, spacers, risers, bolts

New batteries 2015

Windlass anchor

Remote controlled spot light

I have the full snap in carpet set.

The interior is very clean with all of the accessories, there are no rips or tears or stains, other than a couple of spots on the carpet which will probably come out.

New Clarion stereo system with Bluetooth and helm remote controls

Heat and Air Conditioning

Hot water heater

Generator

GPS

VHF Radio

TV/DVD

Full galley w/microwave, refrigerator, stove

Full head

The exterior is in very good shape, there was a ding on the side of the swim platform which has been repaired but not yet topcoated.

I have a Bimini top, Bimini top boot, boat cover, as well as a full camper set, all in perfect condition.

It has never been bottom painted.

It is currently in Baltimore, MD at a boatel

It is a bit dirty right now because it has been in and out of the shop and mechanics and parts have been all over, the carpet is not in place for that reason. I also cannot close the engine hatch because everything is disconnected. I sent a couple of pictures where the boat has been detailed from last summer where you can see how nice it cleans up

This has been a great boat and my wife and I have enjoyed it, every single thing on the boat worked great, and still does (other than the engine)

THE BAD: A couple of weeks ago I took the boat out after de-winterizing it and replacing manifolds, spacers, and risers (there wasnt anything wrong with them, it was just time). I took the boat out and it ran fine for about 30 minutes and then the oil pressure dropped and it briefly overheated. I had it towed back in to Marine Max and they started to investigate, found that the water intake hose has collapsed and was corroded. They also did a compression and leakdown test, all cylinders were in range except #4 which was 20 psi lower and 25% leakdown. As they were removing the water intake hose they found that the housing was also corroded and that there was no way to reattach a new hose and it would need a new transom assembly (I dont know if you can get just the inside half, because the outside piece is fine) . I told them to go ahead and pull the motor and send the heads out for rebuilding. They pulled the motor and removed the heads, #4 cylinder valves were not sealing. They also found that the cylinder clearance was out of range. Long story short, it will need a long block and a transom assembly. Other than that everything was working perfect.

I cannot afford at the moment to do everything required that would make this boat seaworthy again. My loss is your gain.

Please do not hesitate to e-mail me with any questions or if you would like to see the boat.
