Boston Whaler 14 Rage Jet Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler 14 Rage is a 14-foot jet boat built in the early-to-mid 1990s, with hulls from the 1993 and 1994 model years pairing to trailers of similar vintage. Powered by a 90-horsepower two-stroke jet drive rather than a propeller, the Boston Whaler Rage 14 jet boat draws shallow and runs without an exposed prop, which suits river running and lake use where running a Boston Whaler jet boat over submerged hazards is a concern. Anyone shopping a Boston Whaler Rage jet boat for sale is looking at a compact, durable hull from the brand's unsinkable foam-cored construction era.

Performance is modest and predictable: the 90-horse jet drive pushes the boat to about 31 mph at the top end. The engine uses a 50:1 two-stroke fuel-and-oil mixture, and while the boat has a factory oil-injection system, that system is often treated as unreliable, so premixing fuel is the safe route. Fuel capacity is roughly 18 gallons, and the boat is also rigged to carry two portable gas tanks, one stowed on each side of the cockpit, for extended range.

The cooling system is the defining maintenance point on this jet drive. Water is fed through a quick-connect fitting, and the system runs through bends, 90-degree elbows and fittings that are prone to clogging. Flushing requires the original plastic hose adapter; without it, owners build a replacement from a plastic 90-degree elbow and a pipe-thread-to-hose-thread adapter. Flush pressure matters too, with a 20 psi maximum, so the supply needs to be cracked open only slightly. Normal operating temperature runs around 190 degrees, with the two sides of the engine reading roughly 130 to 140 degrees during a flush.

The cockpit is laid out for day use with a stainless helm, a helm backrest seat cushion and a bow cushion up front. Forward and reverse are controlled at the helm and should be lubricated to operate smoothly. There is generous storage under the rear seat, a cubby box at the helm, an anchor locker in the bow, and room for dock lines and a fire extinguisher. A bimini top provides shade in hot weather.

Common upgrades found on these boats include a swim platform, trim tabs (sport tabs) fitted with zinc anodes to absorb stray current in salt water, upgraded scuppers, LED navigation lights, and a basic depth and fish finder. The jet nozzle benefits from a freshwater rinse and a WD-40 wipe after each saltwater outing.

When evaluating a Boston Whaler 14 Rage jet boat, check that it has sat for years, which is common, and budget for fresh fluids, a new battery, and a fuel system inspection. Trailer items such as tires older than six years, bearing buddies, and wheel bearing seals frequently need attention. Confirm that registration and title are in hand for both the boat and the trailer. A long-stored example can come back to life with a battery, stabilized fresh fuel and a cooling-system flush, making the Boston Whaler Rage 14 jet boat a straightforward restoration candidate for buyers who want a small, shallow-running jet boat.
