Hi all, new to forum.
I recently moved to a property on a small river and looking for a small jet boat.
Really like looks and layout of Sugar Sand Tango Extreme with the 3 back and 2 offset bow seats... found one just above my budget around $9k, 2002 with 240 efi for sale.
Any advice from the experienced jet boaters on this size boat on things I should be avoiding such as engine size, brand, years, ect...
Handy with a wrench, but not a lot of experience with marine engines... Usually have my I/O serviced. But willing to get my hands dirty if need be.
