'96 bombardier jetboat, twin rotax engines,guy wants $6450, boat
looks nice. There no traditional transom issues, what do I need to
watch out for
with this kind of boat?

The problems are;

- gas hog
- old, perhaps had the crap beaten out of it
- potential motor problems
- seemly Richard has an unusual boat

#1 gas hog - this just sounds like a sure thing, not much to check. I
like the two engine thing though - I'd be using on Lake Ontario (calm
days only) & it would be nice to be able to get home if one quit.

#2 old, perhaps ragged. How can I tell? I plan to take it to a
mechanic & have him do a engine & water test - would they be able to
tell? Anything specific to ask the mechanic other then "is it toast"?

#3 potential motor problems - again - would the mechanic be able to
tell?

Its seems the main issues here are with the motor(s). Since the boat
itself is all fibreglass (is it??)
