Not that I want to buy it. I already have my own 35'7" hole in the water. Just making an observation. Good luck with it. It looks like a nice boat.

Just FYI- I paid 41K for my '88 357 w/ brand new Merc 502's, rebuilt drives, latham,new inron paint on the hull, new vinyl. Trlr need work but I keep it in a lift anyway. Cabin is a disaster- I'm in the process of gutting it completely and starting over w/ new everything. Absolutely love the boat.
By the way, it has a custom windscreen- I can't decide if I want to put a windshield back on or not but if someone wants to swap, I'd condider it...

Pulled the carpet out- plywood deck, sanded it, plan to put black marbled vinyl tile down- what the hell was Formula thinking when they built the boat- they carpeted the floor, beneath the porta-potty, behind the bulkhead along the hull- disgusting.

Default Re:Speeds in a 357

With merc 420's and TRS's ? I would like a Cafe Racer but they are all 75k+ (in good shape).

A 357 can be had for 40-50 k in great shape.
