Hi,I am looking to buy a Rage jet boat.What are the best ones to look for what are the things to look out for?Are some models better than others?Please any help in this area would be very appreciated.I am in Upstate NY
j-wadd - Welcome to the forum. If I were to buy a 15' Rage I would try to find one with the Merc 175 Sportjet - These are harder to find but are a much faster more reliable package. The 115 is notorious for overheating problems.
The 18 Rage with the 351 Ford engine is also a good choice.
Have a look at my Personal Page - link is under my name to the left. You will see what can be done when the engine goes.
Thanks for your reply.I will keep my eyes out for one.There was one on ebay but it needed motor work.One of the dealerships by me had one forsale with the ford motor but the owner of the marina kept it for himself.I will keep looking thanks for the advise.
