ohh, i had to wait an hour and a half for my ride because one of the starter solenoids went bad on the port engine. they got it fixed up though

When did they start putting air int he 353's? I always thought you needed to go to the 382 for that option. Did you notice on the 382 if the bimini storage was same as the 353?

this year they started the AC in the 353. this was one of the first ones with it, but it was nice. they thing I have against the boat is that there is soooooooo little storage space and the AC just eats up what little is in there to begin with. the 382 that was in the water had a generator and AC.

didnt notice about the bimini storage.

That's gonna be a nice selling faeture for the 353. I was OK with the 353's when I first started looking at the Formula's except that I wanted the air. We overnight in our 382, and one time the air went out, couldn't sleep without it! I have the gen set too and wouldn't go without it either. Hopefully they'll have that as an option to. I assume they put the air where the 382 was. Looked like a nice show. They had my favorite Cig there.

I get the feeling that the 7" of set-back of the ITS just isn't enough to make the difference in speed. The 12" of the Stellings' seems to wake 'em up quite a bit. There must be a "sweet spot" in amount of set-back, in combo with "X" dimension. I would always choose the stellings, irrigardless of the cleaner compact packaging of the ITS.

How difficult would it have been to graft on bimini storage shelves to the underside of the 382 deck? Unless the hatch opening isn't wide enough for straight in stowage?

Poker Run 353 please!
The loaded one won't have enough storage left to stow a change of clothes.

That 525/ITS boat has to run 83 min. you would think.

I have a hard enough time deciding the best spot to store the anchor! Ar you guys using an anchor that folds away and stores in a bag?

Troutly,
I bet they put the TV on the port side here.
