Need help finding a 353 fastech
 

Hello I have a friend looking for a 353 fastech , must be 2000 or newer and his budget is aroung 60K. There was one in norfolk , va but i can not get the owner to call me back now, so we are looking again Thanks

I'm a little ways from Norfolk but used to boat in that area some....I can't think of any that are used there. Got any more info on it? Maybe I can shed some light on it.

There is an excellent one in Houston, Clear Lake City area called "Fast Eddie". He is a member of TOPPS Clear Lake. It is currently for sale, very clean. Contact TOPPS and they'll put you two together.

IMO, the 2000 or newer for under 60k is going to be tough to find anything in good shape.

Especially if you want decent power like 500 or 525 EFI.

Look in the Classifides here.

I swear I just saw a 1999 for sale that runs over 100MPH for around that number. I know it isn't 2000+ but with that speed and power who cares.

agreed. IMO for 60k and 2000+, you are in fastech 292 price ranges not 353.

So I am assuming the model year is for financing/insurance reasons so I apologize for these not exactly matching criteria BUT if he can move a little bit on a couple of things take a look at the following and potentially then you MIGHT get close on the pricing he is looking for. Otherwise I would look at the 1998-2000 boats in the 40-55k range:
'99 for 57k

2003 with blue motors for 75k

99 with blue motors for 75k

And personally if he can swing this--this would take my bet if it checks out:
Clean 2005 for 85K

Starting to see 2006-2008's dropping below 100k with HO's.

I think it was a 03 had 496 hours were high and no trailer

We have room on the price. He just does not want to go up toward 100k so i started near 60k. Motors do not matter he is not a speed freak lol I know and no trailer is fine i know where one is Thanks

Not sure if it is an old ad or not but 2000 for 67k in Virginia beach

Might be worth a phone call
2001 with blue motors for 69k

There seems to be a handful of these here around lake of the ozarks. I'd call up or look at websites for Midwest boat brokerage, performance boat brokerage, double diamond brokers, kellys port and glencove marine, etc. at LOTO. Look at boatcrazy.com also. Not lots of boats listed but usually a couple 353's on that site. A lot of the local spots at LOTO don't advertise classifieds on OSO other than PBB. Good luck.

my recommendation would be to increase the spending limit to find a nice quality / clean boat. personally i dont think you will find anything of quality at the 60k range. like i mentioned, that is more or less 292 pricing territory. might even have to pull 75k out to get it done.

I saw this listing the other day. If your buddy's not about speed, this one looks clean as a pin with few hours for a 1999.
$67k ask.
