Boston Whaler 15 Rage Jet Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler Rage 15 is a jet-drive runabout built in the mid-1990s, with examples dating from 1994 through 1997. This 15-foot jet boat uses a center console layout and a transom-mounted jet pump rather than an outboard or sterndrive, which keeps the lower unit clear of obstructions. Engine options across the years included a 90-horsepower jet drive, an OMC 115-horsepower motor, and a 175-horsepower Mercury Sport Jet with oil injection. Anyone shopping for a Boston Whaler Rage 15 jet boat for sale is looking at a small, trailerable boat suited to lakes and rivers, often paired with an EZ Loader or Elite bunk trailer.

Performance depends on which engine a given Boston Whaler Rage jet boat carries. A 90-horsepower example reached 31 mph on the water. The boat runs on a 50:1 fuel-and-oil mixture, with two-stroke outboard oil recommended; the factory oil-injection system is fitted but not always reliable, so many owners premix instead. The fuel tank holds 18 gallons. These engines start readily once the primer bulb is pumped, though the cooling system is the part to watch.

The cooling setup is the defining maintenance point on the 1990s Rage. Water routes through the jet drive past several 90-degree fittings that are prone to clogging, and flushing requires the original quick-connect hose adapter (a 90-degree plastic elbow with a pipe-to-hose thread adapter recreates the factory piece). Garden-hose pressure must be kept low, with 20 pounds listed as the maximum, and normal operating temperature sits around 190 degrees. Verify cooling flow and temperatures before buying any Boston Whaler Rage 15 jet boat that has sat unused.

The deck and cockpit are built around the center console. Up front is a large padded seating area with a removable cushion and storage beneath. A marine cooler doubles as a padded seat, with both the cooler and seat top removable. The console carries stainless steel handrails, its own under-storage, and gauges for tachometer, speedometer, fuel level, engine temperature, and voltage, plus a Humminbird digital depth finder. Switches cover the blower, navigation lights, and bilge pump, alongside circuit breakers and a mounted fire extinguisher. Passenger foot bumps sit on both sides, and bench-style bucket seating handles three with storage underneath.

At the stern, the Boston Whaler Rage 15 ft jet boat has a large engine compartment with side storage, a swim platform with a one-step boarding ladder, and a transom ski/toe loop for watersports. Bennett trim tabs are a common addition. Buyers customize these boats heavily, adding LED lighting, upgraded stereos, electric trailer winches, and custom graphics, so condition and equipment vary widely from one Boston Whaler Rage jet boat for sale to the next.

When evaluating a Boston Whaler Rage 15 jet boat, check the trailer along with the hull; a typical setup includes side-centering bunks, composite fenders with steps, 13-inch wheels, bearing buddies, a Fulton winch and swivel jack, a 2-inch coupler, and a 4-way light plug. Many surviving boats show only minimal, normal wear, but a long-stored example needs its fluids, fuel, and cooling passages serviced before first use. Confirming that the jet pump spins freely and the engine reaches and holds proper temperature is the practical test of whether a given boat is ready to run.
