I'll start this by saying I'm new to the forum and also new to Jetboats. Grew up with I/O Sea Rays and looking to buy the first boat for myself. I found a 2011 Yamaha sx210 with 90 hours on it and the guy is asking $22,000. It has been used in salt water but the guy says he cleans it with Saltaway after every use. The boat looks clean so I have no reason not to believe him. I've looked online and this price seems reasonable but I figured I'd ask you guys. Is this a good price and more importantly, is this a good boat?

Do a sea test and a compression test, if all that checks out I say that is a fair deal. If it runs good and no hull damage or anything of that nature, I wouldn't hesitate

Is a must and check the oil!
Go through every latch, test every switch, open engine compartment and check for water before and after.
