There's another one on boattrader that was damaged in Hurricane Sandy. I've been watching these boats for a long time too Jason - can't wait to be in your situation some day -

Probably a few g's in upholstery as well. Typically speaking, if someone lets one area go, they let all areas go. Sounds like it'll cost more than it's worth to put it back together plus the time and hassle of doing such a thing.

Hi All!

I know this is a dead thread, but I purchased this boat over the weekend. Took it out yesterday on the Mississippi river and ran it for a solid three hours. Highest speed reached was 52MPH, until it knocked my sunglasses loose. LOL.... Ran very very well, and maintained temps. Oil pressure good, and seemed to run fine. Would love to know more info if anyone has it, because after looking for a Z302 for four years and finally getting one, I am thrilled to have it. I will spend the money to make it perfect. We just did a full detail, and cleaned every crack, crevice, nook, and cranny and every piece of carpet it has. Showroom new, and it sparkles!!

If you all have any details good or bad about this boat please share. I would like to learn its history so that I know what steps to take to continue its restoration until it's perfect. I finally got the boat I always wanted so, for me, Ill spend the money.

What motor? I have the 502 and run that fast too! I love the boat!

Its a 454 Magnum 385 HP at the Prop.

I cant tell, for sure but the drive looks new, and the lower unit is slightly older. Runs well, Hit 50, but could go faster when I learn the trim tabs a bit better. quick boat for sure, especially for its size.
