Default Turtle's 1996 Z240

Hello from Arkansas!
Bought her last year in June. 360 hours and lived in water her whole life until I bought a trailer and dried her out. If you could imagine the water lines and oxidation she had. But I knew she would clean up. Decals didn't survive the buffer LOL. She has a Mulitiport injected 454 and Bravo III with a 28 pitch 3 blade x2 . She was running 53mph last year with GPS and it didn't matter if it was 2 or 8 people. I'm hoping this year with the cleaned out VST pump and filter she will scoot a bit harder. I joined last year and learned so much from all the info/posts out there. Maybe some can learn from my mistakes!!
Thanks to everyone!

    Thank you. If it weren't for the flooding down here I would've already had her out again. We've been getting hammered with rain and tornados!

    Great looking boat. Glad to hear you cleaned her up.
    I saw some pictures of Table Rock yesterday. It's a mess down that way. I hope the whole season isn't messed up for any of you guys.

    We are praying for you up here in Wisconsin. I hope you and your family are OK. Join the club for waiting to take your boat out. It's only 45 degrees here. I'm waiting as well.
