WE are going tomorrow to check out 2 Sea-Ray cruisers. The first one is a 1999, 270 with a new 496 cu in mounted to a Bravo 3 outdrive. The second is a 1995 290, (my choice, better floor plan imho) with a 7.4 replaced in 2014 mounted to a Bravo 2 outdrive. Both are price within 1k of each...

I am the new owner of a Jacuzzi jet powered by a 455 olds. Not being familiar with Jacuzzi jet drive, I think I may have a problem. Under power there seems to be more water flowing around the nozzle of the jet than thru it. Is this an indication of the jet drive needing a rebuild? Thanks in...
