Nautica RIB 16 JET 175HP Mercury Sport Jet Aluminum Rocket Trialer - FUN!!

We have a very fun Nautica RIB 16 JET for sale. We are selling our Cottage, so we will not have a use for this boat. Very fast with the 175 Mercury Sport Jet engine. Runs and starts great - never have had any engine issues. The RIB 16 JET will easily pull a wakeboarder/skier/tube with plenty of power left over. The trailer is an aluminum Rocket trailer that was purchased new in 2005 and has very little miles. The tires are in great condition. The starting battery will need to be replaced as it does not seem to hold a charge.

Custom Sunbrella cover is included.

*** IMPORTANT: The Port & Starboard aft/rear tubes leak air (small area on rear part of tubes - seams, etc). The Port side tube has a slower leak with a patch on the bottom. The Starboard side tube has a quicker leak and will need to be patched/repaired/etc before you head out onto the water. We have not tested the bilge pump, the navigation lights, the blower, etc - all these items are easy to fix if necessary. The boat is in good USED condition - the rear/aft starboard tube will NEED to be patched/fixed/etc. The boat is being sold AS IS ***
