I am looking into buying a 1994 Sea Rayder w/ a Mercury Sport Jet 90 as a repair project. The boat is in good shape, however the engine has been removed an diagnosed with a loose piston and a cracked block. Therefore, it needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
I am considering purchasing this boat as I have found another disassembled, used Sport Jet 90 at a dealer for $250. Are these engines difficult to rebuild? I am mechanically inclined and a degreed engineer so I am comfortable taking it on.
Can anyone give me some tips on what to inspect on the jet pump on this boat?
Can the prop/wear ring be inspected without much disassembly? Anything else I should be looking for?
The owner is looking for 1K as the hull/interior/trailer is in good condition. He also recently replaced the battery, impeller and throttle cable. Is this a fair price?
Any help/tips you can provide are appreciated!
