2016 Formula 353 FASTech | 35ft

2016 Formula 353 FASTech – Freshwater, Low Hours, Well Sorted

This 2016 Formula 353 FASTech is a true performance cruiser that blends Formula’s legendary build quality with aggressive styling and high speed. Designed for confident offshore running and weekend entertaining, the 353 FASTech remains one of the most respected high-performance models in its class.

Powered by twin MerCruiser 8.2L MAG engines (380 hp each) with Bravo One X drives, this boat delivers strong acceleration and an effortless cruise. Engine hours are approximately 127, and the boat has seen light, careful use. A documented water test confirmed proper operating temperatures, oil pressure, charging, smooth shifting, and wide-open throttle performance in the low-60 mph range .

This vessel benefits from extensive recent service and mechanical attention completed in 2024, including drive inspections, new bellows, shift components, impellers, spark plugs, fluid changes, and related adjustments. The result is a FASTech that runs as it should, with known issues addressed rather than deferred. Service documentation is available for review .

The cockpit layout is classic FASTech: deep, secure seating with high-quality upholstery, twin McLeod electric bolster seats at the helm, Livorsi controls and gauges, and a clean, uncluttered performance helm. Below, the cabin offers a surprisingly comfortable space with wraparound seating that converts to a berth, an enclosed VacuFlush head, refrigerator, and thoughtful storage throughout, making overnighting practical and comfortable.

The hull and structure surveyed well, showing Formula’s trademark solid construction, deep-V ride, and attention to detail. Cosmetic condition is very good for the age, with only minor wear consistent with normal use. The boat presents as a cared-for example rather than a neglected performance toy  .

If you are looking for a FASTech that delivers real performance without sacrificing quality, comfort, or documentation, this 2016 Formula 353 stands out as a strong, well-maintained option.
