    Spider Cracks - Big Deal?

    I’m potentially going to buy a used 2016 Yamaha 242 Limited SE. Overall condition is good inside and out, but there are some spider cracks around one side of the stern grab handle (other side is fine). Is this a big problem, little problem, or no problem? Thanks.

    Used Boat Advice - Patched Crack

    Hi All, I'm really glad to see such an active forum.

    First Time Purchase

    I am finally in the market for a jet boat. This will be my first boat I owned too. Other than me taking out a 21' Sea Ray out in Cayuga Lake last week in upstate NY, I do not have much experience other than being a professional passenger. I live only 5 minutes from a boat slip on the Delaware...
