We ended up buying a 2000 353, real clean, excellent trailer. Boat has 2003 496ho's installed 70 hrs. I was very sure I'd get 500efi's, but there are advantages on the 496's; gas, insurance cost, cruisng range, maintance.
Really took a long time for the seller to come around to my price, so I kept quite for a while. This is our 6th boat, so I've sold 5 others, and you never get what you think you ought to, so it's important to by it right.
Looking forward to spring!

congrats on the boat, could you pm me what you paid? have a buddy tring to sell his, had left you his number. he thinks it is priced to sell but was wondering what the real market brought. if you dont want to share that info thats ok, and if anything happens with the sea trial keep this boat in mind.
again congrats.
again congrats.

close. 382's always a little more, but closer than you would think after 3-5 years. 382's alot of boat. the 353 is more trailer friendly, storage friendly, much more fun to drive and is 5-7 MPH faster with the same power. plus the 353 has the more modern deck as the 382 deck is a carry-over from the old SR's
382 is a smaller market than the 353 and pricing is therefore more competitive.
