New to me 353!
 

Well traded my 292 in on 2006 353. The boat has 496hos (raylar kits in future!) full hydraulic steering really nice boat. I am going to and some paint to side and tint windshield to bring it together. Love the room and ride compared to 292! Shipyard marine photo shopped what will look like. I will post pictures when real thing is done.

Nice new rig!

Congrats!

Nice boat, I purchased a 353 from shipyard in January and picked it up last month. Saw your 353 there, very clean boat. [ATTACH=CONFIG]502072[/ATTACH]

I purchased a 353 during the off season and finally getting some weather to use it and its an awesome boat!

I've had my 353 for 10 years and still love it, you'll be super happy with the upgrade, congrats on the new boat.

man, that color upgrade will look awesome! Congrats!

Voodorob I wanted to buy the boat you have from shipyard but wasn't ready when he had it. I road in that boat when it was new in Oshkosh poker run. That boat rocks. Baja had there 40 foot outlaw poker run boat with 850s in it and took the hole lake for him to catch us in that 353. Wish o meter was showing 90 that day!

congrats, love the added color upgrade also

That's Awesome! I have only had the boat out 4 times, been to 84.7 with it. It now has GPS on the dash along with the GPS Speedo, wish-o-meter is always better though! I had Shipyard install A/C, a little extra weight so the speed I'm getting is good enough. The A/C will make for fun trips to Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie. If you have any photos from way back when, please shoot them over. Thanks!

Yes I think I can find some photos. Andy had your boat displayed on lawn for shipyard marine at poker run. It looked good. Think there where close to 100 boats running back then. Good times!

Congrats! You'll love the 353. You're paint upgrade is looks great too!

Nice boat, both of them that came from shipyard, use to see both of them all the time in the Green Bay area. I like the new paint job as well.

I started my upgrades to 353. I added stereo. Used stock kenwood head unit running cabin speakers only now and added 2 Memphis 6x9s just below windshield behind bolsters and 2 Memphis 8 inch speakers under rear seat and 8 inch 100 watt amplified bazooka tube in port side storage. I powered 4 new speakers and factory kenwood 6x9s with JL 600 watt 6 channel amp mounted under rear seat. Sounds really good and did not loose very much storage. Also striped factory Eagle trailer stripping. More of clean look. Was thinking of putting chrome formula letters with eagle (like on side of boat) on trailer. This week I am touching up trailer and it is getting buffed and waxed. Boat is scheduled to get painted june 24th after that is done with buff and wax top deck to bring back to near new I hope! Was out for fathers day with 7 adults 2 kids lots of gear and boat ran great. Got onto plain good and still had 71 mph gps with that load. Good running hull for power and weight!

So last night I was changing exhaust tips and I have my magnet with me (incase I drop tools into bilge) and I stick to port side exhaust manifold and it holds (cast iron) I move to starboard engine and try to stick magnet to manifold and it falls off (alum manifold) Can you believe formula built boat with 1 engine with cast iron other cast alum! That's 100+ pounds difference. Well looks like there getting replaced with cmis now!

GGB exhaust inserts. Should sound better than quit stock corsa mufflers but not as load as open? Of course tips where to long and had to cut down. Nothing ever fits without mods!

Started paint work.

She is black!

That is gorgeous!!!

Love it!

What a difference! Looks really sharp!

Hey, my buddy and I just got one too. Its the one on the left. I think it will need some paint or something too.

WTF happen and where?

That really looks great!

Nice way to finish the design, boat looks great

Little filler and paint, good as new

There was a small fire in a building where boats are stored by us. I'm a firefighter, and had to go in and put it out. Afterwords, wound up getting one of the boats from the insurance company.

Thanks Guys!! Wow is there anything good on those boats? Maybe drives and trailers? CMI headers are in. Will post gains if any. 73 mph at 5000rpm my best so far. But will work good with raylars down the road. Also tinting windshield. Then I am broke LOL!
