The H20 is a fun boat with plenty of power. It can take most any boat on reaching legs and it has plenty of bow to limit pitch poles. I could really drive it hard, have the bows knife underwater, and it still keep driving. A great WILD THING boat. You'll need to learn how to depower it in heavier winds. A cascading down haul system is essential.
I owned a '93 and '00 model before going to the f18. The main thing to look for are cracks along where the hull and deck are put together, especially around the front crossbar. The '93 models were slighted some glass in this area and the majority of those boats would need some repair work. My '00 didn't have this problem.
