The graphics are formula's platinum series Imron design "Storm"

i have to agree the blue motors are cool, when i bought mine i gave up the blues for factory gen,a/c, and all the goodies. i dont know about you guys-but we cove out all day, not run all over.. coved out with gen running and a/c on so the girls can take a break from the heat, let me tell you it dosent get any better than that. and at the end of the day those 496HO's will push us up to 75mph on gps if i want . so you decide-low 80 or all the comforts of home... just my .02

check out my 353, it is for sale on boat trader.com http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...STech-95379216

Up north we drive our boats alot and when we get hot we jump in the river and swim. Having the good looking women down below with the AC sort of defeats the purpose.....:lolhit:

Not to forget the linear effects of speed and bounce, ( . ) ( . ) !!! :D

Sidetracked,, Nice boat! why you selling? can you put me on a payment plan lol

Fountain?? Why is it........
 

Thanks for the reply Dave. Question, though, ....why is it that so many folks say I should consider a Fountain?? They say they're faster, (maybe a bit). But they also say they're the best riding and handling sport boat made. I've been a fan of Thunderbird/Formula forever. I've always thought Formula was the best riding, (especially in rough water). Maybe not as fast, but way better made, heavier, stronger, and way better lookin'..........your thoughts, and anyone else.

Thanks guys for the input.........dave (RR)

Family is getting bigger and its time for a Formula 40. In my book family comes first- and with the 353 i have the best of both worlds; go fast boat w/ comfort. With a 40ss we will have more room. again its all what your looking for and suits your needs.:drink:

Formula might concede a few top-end mph's to Fountain, but in my opinion, nothing else. The FasTech is just such a perfectly designed and quality-engineered offshore boat, that I personally wouldn't consider anything else.

Of course this is all subjective, but when you're comparing boats, look at the usable space, lay-out, rigging, storage, amenities, fit and finish, durability, comfort, style ...etc.

Even the "little" things that experienced boaters appreciate like a usable windshield, the sliding cabin door, McLeod bolsters & footrests, easy bow access, anchor cabinet in the bow, lighting in the gunnel storage areas, shore power cord storage in the engine hatch (ingenious!), flip-out dash panel for easy access to your gauges ...etc.

THEN after you're done admiring all of this... take one for a ride!

Dave,

You should work in the sales and marketing group at Formula.

I feel the same way. I had a Powerquest buddy tell me the other day that a 34 Viper was twice the boat of Formula. Obviously he hasn't riden in a Formula. Not to mention that PQ is no longer in business......(tough if ya gotta dump it). But overall, as you mentioned, fit, finish,handling,rough water ride AND re-sale, are just a few of Formula's qualities.

I've decided that by next year this time (at the latest) I too, will be the proud owner of my many year sought after dream of a 353 w/525s........awsome dude..........just awsome.

Thanks for mentioning some of the additional Formula ammenaties I was not aware of..........dave (RR)
