A very versatile boat with great features. It has a customized hull for fast and agile driving, while being compact and solid to withstand high speeds, so Formula bets on two steps integrated into the hull, with the intention of forcing air under it and thus reducing the friction of the surface giving it one more point of speed.
A large aft sundeck, adjustable surround seats, multi-seater sofa, bathing platform, are part of the equipment located in the boat's extensive cockpit. A built-in trash receptacle is handy for keeping the cockpit free of clutter.

An auxiliary 12V outlet in the dash compartment keep cellular phones and other portable equipment fully charged and within easy reach.
McLeod electric-assisted stand-up bolsters and electric assist footrests allow for ideal driving and riding positions for the driver and passenger.

Wraparound Ultraleather HP lounge seating with cocktail table is ideal for relaxing, and converts to a double berth with the addition of filler cushions.

Formula 353: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 353 Fastech represents a notable collaboration between Formula and Ilmor, introducing Ilmor's new 570 horsepower 454 small block crossover engines. This model stands out as one of the most visually striking releases from Formula, featuring the innovative Stiletto graphics package applied with Imron paint rather than decals. The 353 Fastech aims to offer a competitively priced high-performance option within the Formula lineup, leveraging the power and efficiency of these newly developed engines.
Engine and Mechanical Features
Under the engine hatch reside the first two production units of Ilmor's 570 horsepower 454 small block engines, each weighing approximately 830 pounds. These engines fill a performance gap between Ilmor's 522 horsepower V8 and 650 horsepower V10 models. The installation in the 353 Fastech is well-executed, with easily accessible daily maintenance points such as forward-facing air cleaners and visible serpentine belts for inspection. A distinctive feature includes oil filters mounted directly to drip trays, enhancing cleanliness during servicing. Safety and convenience are addressed with a standard automatic discharge fire extinguisher, properly double-clamped hoses, clearly labeled ball valves, and power trim pumps positioned on the forward bulkhead. Electrical systems include a standard 50 amp battery charger, with battery switches and circuit breakers neatly located beneath the aft bench seat.
Exterior and Helm Design
The cockpit layout features McLeod Performance wraparound seats for both captain and passenger, designed for sustained high-speed comfort. These seats electrically lower to function as leaning posts, with adjustable footrests but fixed fore-and-aft positioning. Safety is enhanced by grab handles positioned behind the seats for standing passengers. The helm is finished with a color-matched carbon fiber treatment protected by a plastic overlay. Instrumentation includes an optional Garmin 740S GPS chartplotter, Ilmor's customizable multi-function engine displays, large Levorsi Monster and Redline analog tachometers, a fuel gauge, and a flush-mounted compass. Controls consist of dual chromed shift and throttle levers with integrated out-drive trim, supplemented by separate rocker switches for out-drive and trim tabs. Access to the bow is achieved by stepping over a low-profile windshield leading to a long foredeck and anchor hatch, though no anchor windlass is installed, deemed unnecessary due to weight considerations. Side rails are minimal and primarily aesthetic, while Formula's signature step-tall hull design reduces surface friction to enhance speed.
Performance and Handling
The Formula 353 Fastech measures 35 feet 3 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 3 inches and a draft of 36 inches. During testing, the boat's displacement was 10,650 pounds, accounting for fuel, water, and two occupants. Equipped with Mercury Racing Maximus 15.25 by 25 five-bladed props and a 1.5 to 1 gear reduction, the twin 570 horsepower Ilmor engines propelled the boat to a top speed of 85.2 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 88 gallons of fuel per hour and providing a range of approximately 130 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3,500 RPM, yielding 46.2 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 27 gallons per hour and an extended range of 229 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The boat exhibits a 14-degree bow rise during acceleration, which momentarily reduces forward visibility due to the helm's position relative to the bow. The 353 Fastech requires moderate trim adjustments to optimize performance, with the drives trimmed up to about 7 on the gauge to achieve optimal speed and handling. The hull design favors straight-line speed and stability, rolling 13.5 degrees into turns and demonstrating robust wave penetration thanks to its narrow entry. While capable of aggressive maneuvering, the boat is best handled at moderate speeds for occupant safety.
Conclusion
The Formula 353 Fastech powered by Ilmor's new 570 horsepower 454 small block engines delivers an impressive blend of performance, design, and innovation. The integration of these crossover engines provides a compelling option in the high-performance recreational boating segment, supported by thoughtful engineering and quality craftsmanship. The boat's handling characteristics, combined with its striking aesthetics and practical features, make it a noteworthy addition to Formula's lineup. Overall, the collaboration between Ilmor and Formula has produced a vessel that excels in speed, comfort, and style.
