Looking For A Used 353
 

I am in the market for a killer deal on a used 353 Fastech. Somewhere between 2000 and 2005, minimum of 500 HP's....I'm not interested in 496's or standard 502's. Anywhere around retail pricing will not get it!........I had to let my previous boat go too low........ The market is pretty crappy for moving used boats right now. Any leads on agressively priced 353's would be appreciated.

:drink:

Local-ish to me but not mine, you'll have to call for details on power and to get pics.

Thanks to all for your replies. I have a few leads to chase down. Keep them coming!

:coolcowboy:

Nice package at a great price.

1. Why would someone pull the batteries and props?
2. Why wouldn't they be replaced to make the boat more appealing to sell?

It's a repo.......these things come in all kinds of conditions. The owner probably had pulled them for the winter and put the boat on a storage lot for the winter......then the repo man found it and brought it in. The repo lot isn't in the restoration business so they don't do ANYTHING to the boats they are selling (however minor the needs may be).

and often if the owner comes up with the funds in full they are entitled to get there boat back.....then the repo lot would be out the money they put into the boat.

Call Frankie McSwain. Performance Boat Brokerage. He had a killer deal going on a 1999 382

Thanks for the explanation t500. Redwenvy, if you wade through all the "killer deals" and come up empty, PM me.

There, now that is easier to read!:drink:

That boat belonged to someone I know. It was in mint condition as the owner was about as anal as anyone I know about taking care of it. My all time favorite graphics.

That was my point. In repo lots I've seen mint condition boats and ones that should been left to sink.....you just never know what to expect until you inspect each one individually. Alot of people remove props and batteries for winter storage so that was my guess on this one.

I know of a 99 353 for sale w/ 500's.

Problem is that after they get to the lot, NOBODY takes care of anything. Seen a few that came in looking pretty good, but the hands and feet of "lookers" took the toll. Be very careful and expect to repair or replace things. Add that into your budget or it will sit on shore instead of the water....Make sure you ask about the trailers too, most DO NOT come with the trailer.
