I might buy a Sea Ray f16. Does anyone know how these boats are or is there anything to look out for?
let me check....hang on......
but off the top .....that will be a wooden transom and deck . the stringers will be glass over foam. weight the boat against manufacture specs to check for water logging
Well the sea doo speedster 150 offers either a 155, 215, or 255hp engines. There is a huge power differenceI took a look at one not to long ago. was really dissapointed in the lack of performance of the 120 sportjet compared to a few of the seadoo jet boats that I have used.
I don't need or want a boat that goes in the 60's. Will the 120 push it over 35mph? If so that islike i mentioned, that exact same hull came with a little 4 cylinder 120 hp, or a 175 v6 merc... yeah, you can probably guess the 120 is underpowered! The 175 will put it into high 50's/low 60's.

enough. Should I be concerned that they put a re manufactured powerhead into the boat in 2009 rather than a new power head?
Yes! That is the exact one!Here's one oops!
My bet is that this is the exact one the op is looking at.
