353 on lift
 

really stupid question guys....but would anyone put a 353 on a 10,000
pound lift? I see on the Formula site, they list the 353 at 9500 pounds...then the boat test site Formula links you to says it weighs 8500 pounds. what does this thing really weigh?

My 353 is on a 10K HydroHoist. No issues,skegs are about 10" above the water.

Thank you.

your pushing it with a 10,000. add fuel and a little gear and your way over, i have a 10,000 for my 312 and i wouldnt want to put anything else on it

It would also recommend a larger lift
maybe you want to upgrade in the future to a 382 !

what is the difference in ride quality between a 353 and 312?

I have one of each, come on out to Az. and we'll put them both in the water and you can tell for yourself.:drink:
Maybe you'll leave with my 312 and you won't be boatless any longer.
The 353 definately "feels" heavier particularly in slow speed maneuvers, docking etc...
The 312 is going to have a bouncier ride in bigger water but is still nice.

"Maybe you'll leave with my 312 and you won't be boatless any longer."

what are you asking for it?

Not nearly enough, but that's a result of the economy.:rolleyes:

Buy it and I'll deliver it for free, that will give me an excuse to do some diving in Key Largo!
