Wife and I are looking at a 2007 353 Fastech with twin 496's. One owner boat with all the bells and whistles in it. Does anyone have an idea of what kind of speed we would see out of this boat?

Thanks in advance for the insight.

Chris

I have heard 72 on a good day but no experience with one.

Mine's got 502s and on a good day with a tail wind and just the two of us we can get 70MPH out of her, but she's cruises all day at 45-50mph, we love ours.

yea mine has 72 and I've seen 69.8 on GPS. With the Higher X dimensions you should see 72 or so. Great boat and my black motors have been super reliable

Resale on blue motors way better and easier, more desirable my .02cents.

So who has a blue motor full blown loaded 353 for sale with low hrs on it that just wants OUT??? Wife wants all the bells and whistles and I desire to keep the POKER RUN fast fun>>>Maybe not able to do both but I think it's attainable ..... I must be NUTS ????

How's your fuel consumption ???

seen yours run and it fly's ......

We use ours for fun runs, poker runs, and overnight once and awhile. Runs 81-83 consistent with best of 84.7. Our boat is loaded with a/c, water, fridge, TV, transom shower, Bimini top... I looked for almost 2 years for a well cared for boat with the power combo / color scheme that I could stay with for a few years. Blue engines need to be maintained and when things break you dig a little deeper. Header care, keeping the engines running cool and top ends are my priorities and I have been rewarded with hours of fun and meeting some remarkable people on runs.

I Have a 2005 Blue motor Boat 280 Hours every option under the sun( It was the actual boat from the formula photo shoot that year) Also has a full enclosure with bimini. Also has the bravo one xr drives with the ITS System and captains call exhaust. Boat can be seen here with pictures. http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/30459
