Consider adding a surfboard type nose-bumper to it. Maybe even rubber tape around the tail.
With the mounting hardware, there's been some good posts here and on ncdsa about that, but, yeah, use rubber washers at the bolt heads, and stay away from #10-24Tpi screws, use either #10-32Tpi or 5MM hardware for mounting your trucks. Rubber or soft urethane risers/wedges are definately better as well, as the hard plastic stuff (Like Khiro Rails or Tracker wedges) can scuff the deck up.
Oh, and keep it out of direct prolonged sunlight! Also never leave it in a car that's going to get cooking-hot in the summer! Could warp it, which sucks.
Lastly, if JG calls and wants to use it for one of his training camps, stay home! My yellow Turner crunched a stonewall because John didn't notice the kid was riding barefoot, and couldn't run after the board after dismounting. Luckily, no major damage, but irksome to watch happen. A nose guard could've likely kept it in unscathed condition.
Otherwise, Ride It! These are meant to be used, not to be wallhangers. Of course, it's your board.. But I wouldn't be suprised to find that your Turner does what my four do...
Beg you to come out an' Play!
