I am looking to purchase a 1996 Sea Rayder F14. This is my first ever boat purchase. The size seems right. Are they reliable? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated?

Re: How is the Sea Rayder F14?

Be careful! A lot of these jet boats get abused by their owners -- crashing through waves, spinning around, constant full-throttle running, etc.<br /><br />Look over the boat very carefully, checking for signs of abuse. Check the hull and transom for stress cracks. Check engine compression (if you know how). Ask the owner questions (if you can trust the person to tell the truth)...<br /><br />If the boat has been well-cared for, and you like its style and purpose, go for it!
