1997 Boston Whaler 15 ft Rage Jet Boat

Description

1997 Boston Whaler 15 ft Rage Jet Boat Showroom Condition, Low Hours (100.8 total hours). I purchased this Boston Whaler boat on an Ebay auction on 02-12-12 and paid $9,999 for it. For the past 5 years it has been kept in my garage. I have never put the boat in the water myself due to health issues. I took the boat to a marine repair shop and told the owner to go over the boat and trailer and fix/repair anything necessary. They replaced the steering cable, drained and cleaned the fuel tank, and went through the carburetor and put boat in water. He said the boat is 100% and exceeded 50 mph in speed.
The boat has a 175 horse-power Mercury oil-injected inboard engine, which gives the boat a top-speed of about 52 mph.
The boat is fully equipped with safety equipment, anchor, navigation lights, bimini cover, AMFM/CD (new) sound system, plus Lawrence X 51 PRO sonar device, that gives a read-out of water depth, water temp, bottom contour, as well as fish location.
The boat has a full canvas cover and boot for bimini top. It comes with an ice chest and life preserver box. If you are not familiar with the Boston Whaler, they are known as an "unsinkable legend".
The fiberglass hull is double constructed, with the cavity between hulls filled with foam. This model, when totally swamped, still supports 1800 lbs. Video from Boston Whaler shows the boat being chain sawed in half and then the stern half, actually driven back to the marina, under its own power.
It has a dual battery system with 2 new high amperage marine batteries that were just purchased. I have the receipts and the batteries come with a 2 year warranty.
The boat is a 1997 and the ShoreLand trailer is a 1998. They are both like new.
I just had the boat professionally detailed and then placed back in my garage to keep it immaculate. It runs beautifully and is showroom condition and ready for it's next owner.
I am now 78 years old and as much as I would like to keep the boat, I am afraid due to my health and age, that I would get myself in trouble putting the boat in and out of the water. Therefore, I have decided to sell it.
The following is taken from the write-up in the ad when I purchased the boat in 2012. "This is a mid-west fresh water boat. It has never been in salt water until February 2012 (one weekend only). It was immediately flushed with fresh water after each use. I am the 3rd owner. The previous owners were senior citizens as I am. The time clock shows under 100 hours, and I believe this is to be acurate, as you will too, after seeing it in person. The boat is virtually in new condition, as is the trailer. After previous owner passed away, this pampered beauty spent many years in a climate-controlled building."
