Am I better off getting a 199515' Boston Whaler Rage 115 hp Jet boat or 1995 Seadoo 170hp Jet Boat-same prices

I am shopping for a boat that would be used in the ocean and in a half fresh half salt water river. I would like a jet boat, as the river can be low at many places. If I can get them for the same price, do you think I am better off buying a 1995 Boston Whaler Rage Jetboat (newer 115 omc engine installed, runs well) or a 1995 Seadoo Speedster Jet boat (dual 135 engines, runs well)? In the Whaler, the owner (who is a mechanic) said the engine overheated, and he replaced the head gaskets and it ran pretty well. He then put in a newer engine that was in better shape, and it runs very well. Does the turbo jet have a bad rep? I see people converting it to outboard and it makes me wonder. And for the Seadoo--- bad saltwater boat? Anyone know about the rep's of these engines? thanks!!
