1995 Rinker Raider jet drive

911Tr8r

THinking of buying a CL listed boat with a jet drive.  Anyone know anything about this model.  I know some people do not like jet drives however I have owned one without incident.  Seller says boat is very rare.  Since I can't find it here I would have to agree. Grateful for any feedback.  I know my way around engines but if the jet drive needed help I would be lost and the cost from what I have researched is more than the $2ooo the seller wants for the boat.
Thanks in advance

Don't know much about them, and have only seen one for sale in the last three years. It was in Indianapolis, last summer.

I am concerned about finding parts for the drive.

Unless you're a  big fan of one off jet drive boats I'd run far and fast away from this one.

I'm pretty sure that boat is a Rinker Rocket.  The photos suggest chronic neglect ...

Yea you can get a late 90s sea foo challenger for $3k - $4k in way better shape and way easier to get parts and rebuilt engines. I’d run from that thing too and I like a project.

Thanks so much for the input.  I shall keep looking.

You may want to look at Yamaha. I believe Sea Doo stopped making jet boats to focus on personal water craft, and I know Yamaha is still big into jet boats.
