Boston Whaler Rage Jet Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler Rage jet boat is a 1990s jet-drive runabout built on the brand's unsinkable foam-cored hull, offered in the Rage 14 and Rage 15 lengths. A 1993 Boston Whaler Rage 14 jet boat measures 14 feet, while the Rage 15 stretches to 15 feet, and both run a sterndrive-style water jet rather than an outboard or propeller. The boat suits buyers who want shallow-draft pump propulsion for skiing and lake or river use, with a transom ski/tow loop fitted from the factory. Many examples for sale today are decades-old projects, so condition varies widely between a well-kept 1995 Boston Whaler Rage 15 and a 1994 Rage 14 that has sat for years.

Power came from several two-stroke jet packages depending on year. A 1994 Boston Whaler Rage 14 jet boat carries a 90-horsepower jet drive and tops out around 31 mph. The 1995 Boston Whaler Rage 15 jet boat was fitted with an OMC 115-horsepower motor, and a customized example tops out at nearly 70 mph. A 1997 Rage 15 uses a 175-horsepower Mercury Sport Jet, oil-injected. These engines run a 50:1 two-stroke mix; OMC owners use Evinrude oil, and because the factory oil-injection system is not always trustworthy, some owners premix fuel. Fuel capacity on the Rage 14 is an 18-gallon tank, and the boats can also carry two portable gas tanks, one on each side of the engine compartment.

The center console helm carries stainless steel handrails and a stainless backrest, with gauges for tachometer, speedometer, fuel level, engine temperature, and a voltmeter. Switches cover the blower, navigation lights, and bilge pump, protected by circuit breakers. A depth/fish finder is commonly mounted, with Humminbird and Garmin units appearing on later boats. The forward/reverse control needs periodic lubrication but works through the jet's reverse bucket.

The deck layout puts a large padded bow seating area with removable cushions and under-seat storage up front, plus an anchor locker. Bench-style bucket seating is made for three behind the console, again with storage underneath, and a removable Igloo marine cooler doubles as a padded seat. The transom carries a swim platform with a one-step boarding ladder, and the engine compartment includes side storage. Trim tabs, including sport tabs with sacrificial zincs for saltwater use, were added to some boats, along with upgraded scuppers.

The cooling system is the critical area to check on any Boston Whaler Rage jet boat for sale. The pump routing uses 90-degree fittings prone to clogging, and flushing requires the original quick-connect hose adapter or a homemade equivalent built from a plastic 90-degree elbow and a pipe-thread-to-hose-thread fitting. Flushing water pressure must stay at or below 20 psi, so house pressure should be cracked open only slightly. Normal running temperatures land near 130 to 140 degrees per side. Common trailers include EZ Loader bunk trailers and Elite custom trailers; when buying, inspect bearing buddies, seals, and tires older than six years, and confirm both boat and trailer have registration and title in hand.
