That in it self should set off some alarms .... how long does this 353 sit in the water and what type of water? Fresh or Salt?
I am hoping fresh water and it is just a lazy dumb azz who didn't like cleaning the boat for your sake.
Check the boat out for any corrosion or water blisters. Going to be hard to see with the paint on it.
Give Rippem a page .... I am quite sure he could help you.

The first time I ran the 353, I thought something was wrong, because when I tried to trim it like my '89 311, I had bow-steer going on, and it felt like a slug. I couldn't believe that the 353 needed the drives to be so much higher than my 311 to run right. It sounds to me like you just need to bring up your drives and tabs and let 'er rip! Good luck and let us know how you make out.
