Hello! We just picked up a 2015 AR240, it’s a beautiful boat! The family we purchased it from took great care of it!! It has 106 hours! I definitely have a bit to learn with the jet boat and what it will and will it do! Looking forward to an awesome Summer in Utah!!

Hey @Boatdad24, I'm a fellow AR240 (2016) owner from Orem. Welcome!

Also, I'm a resident watersports dealer. Locals willing to pick up get extra savings. We've got access to just about anything. More than we can list. I don't mean to greet everyone with a sales pitch, but reach out anytime if you'd like.

My AR240 is tops out at 45.8 (GPS) on a perfect day on Utah Lake. I did did the ribbon delete on the intake which helps add back a few missing RPM. If you're not familiar, use the search and there's plenty of info here on it. I've also swapped impellers to some elevation pitched. I would definitely recommend that. At this elevation you should be able to hit 7500 RPM. If not, there's room for improvement.

We've not boated Strawberry, the water stays a bit too chilly for my liking. We make the journey past it up to Starvation a few times a season. It's great up there!

Feel free to message if you have questions.
