1992-1993 Rage is a dream to own. i have a 1992 with the 701 upgrade (kept the 650 just in case) and I use it in rivers, lakes and even saltwater. I just stripped out the motor and pump and I'm going to flip it over and re-do the bottom Got me a small puncture from a rotten bunker that let the support stab the boat. Gives me a chance to drill some test holes in suspect spots to make sure she's all dry inside too.
I wouldn't let any life form, friend or foe, purchase a 1994 or later Rage as they suck. OMC/ Bombardier screwed them up for 1994-1995 with their smoky, loud POS 90hp (with NO parts being made or available anywhere) and then the outboard put on after were too butt-heavy to be stable in the water. The centered weight of the motor stabilizes the boat nicely and the jet stays in contact with the water at all speeds.
Just remember to rinse her out well and keep her greased up and they'll last another 20 years.
When I get her all glassed and shined up, I'll post some pics.

(please follow guideline #1 on the front page and use the full 4 digit year)
