bford1,
You can find some 353's in the 80-90k range, although some of them are saltwater boats. I haven't seen any under 80k.

I have not seen a 353 below 80K ...not listed for sure ....

I listed the procharged boat for a friend at 95K but you might be surprised at what he would sell it for. No commision for me,just a favor for a friend. I will give a SERIOUS buyer his phone #,but be ready to buy before you call.

The ones I've seen listed under 90k all seem to be saltwater boats. I guess that would be okay if they were well cared for.

There seem to be a lot of people shopping for 353s now but not many seem to be moving.

I would be really serious about buying now except that really need to get rid of my 357 first. Who knows maybe I'll just keep her.

Just listed mine cheap

It also turns out to be a 1999,not a 98. He had both,just forgot which one this was.

Sounds like a great deal. I wish my 357 was already sold and I'd go see it. Unfortunately, I have been too busy to actively try to sell the 357.

Magicfloat,
Can you give me some more details on the 99 353? How many hours, salt or fresh water etc. I'm a little leary of buying procharged motors that I know nothing about.

Turns out it is a 98 as I originally listed it,but I'm pretty sure it sold yesterday,owner promised to hold it till Monday for the buyer. If it changes I will post. Robert

I finally sold my 271. Where are all the deals? I'll look at anything from a 311 to a 382 1990 to 1999. I have cash now and I'm ready to buy.
