Does anyone know of a 353 that may come up for sale in the near future? I have been scrolling through the internet the past 6 months searching and have narrowed it down to three that I will be sea trialing next week. I just want to make sure that there is no owner contemplating on putting theirs up for sale or know of one that is not advertised on the web before I pull the trigger.

I am considering sale...
been back and forth for 3 years on parting with it, but the iron is hot, and I'm prepared to be realistic.
Boat has an excellent history, 330 hrs, original owner.
425's B1X Latham, every '02 option. Corsa mufflers, big sound, custom mattress, others subtle adds.
Eagle Premier triple with sling cut bunks, 3 axles of EOH Kodiak discs, Mirrex tool boxes, LED's, power jack, and more. trailer has never sat outside.
Many here on OSO and in the Bay can vouch for the package condition and how it's been kept.
It's the cleanest of the vintage in the NE I assure you. Never been out from cover unless I'm on it.
I am ridiculously OCD fussy, and it shows.
It's been a fantastic boat. Has done everything I've asked of it really, really well.
The ownership experience has been top-shelf.
Much of it documented here over the years.
I think I'm finally ready after 27 years of performance boats, and with other influences, to make the move to a big CC.
With that all said...what are you looking for paint/power/price range?
The boat is here in my shop. I'm 2 miles off 81.
Being so close I would think that if it interests you, it would be worth your time to take a look at it before you make a move.
PM me if you like.

I know of one in New Hampshire that's on the market but not on the market. Its an 05 with 525's around 400-450 hours, Cora quick and quite, its extension boxes, vhf, upgraded paint, bimini with full enclosure, a/c, pretty much every option, on a trailer if interested can find out more for you as I know the owner pretty well.
