SHOW ME THE HORSEPOWER!!!!

[Kelly O]

Time to fire the ZT and get it ready to show. A couple of serious inquiries lately. All wonder if condition is as good as pictures show.
This has got to be one of the prettiest most blinged out Checkmates ever.
I still laugh every time I open up the engine hatch, then really smile thinking of how she runs.

 

[throttletherapy]

amen to that!! i love opening my hatch b/c it seems like every time i open it i smile bigger. i think its b/c of all the extra hours at work i put in so i could make it look as good as she runs. kelly-o you have a boat that if i didnt have mine i would buy in a heart beat! i promise you!! you seem the same way i am about how anal you are with your things. good luck trying to sell. thanks for viewing the thread.

[illMATTic]

Thats pretty sick for sure.

 

[gwcpa]

1500 +

What drive do you have that holds up to that? How many have you been through getting there?

I know very little about turbo setups in boats. Any more info would be appreciated, as an education on it. My first response is that it must be expensive, high maintenance, and not long between rebuilds. Am I way off?

Oh, and what prop?
