Looking at a 353, not real familier with formulas. Any pointers of specifics to look at? I have been told that you don't have to worry about rotted stringers or transoms because formulas don't have wood in them, is that true?

Good advice ^^^.
Search OSO, there’s a couple of threads about Fastechs with issues. Deck and hull separating, and another instance of structural problems (I think between the hull and liner) concerning the use of Plexus as an adhesive. They may be isolated examples but do some homework and you’ll be an ‘educated buyer’.
Nice boats, just make sure you get a good one.
