Overview

The Formula 353 Fastech is designed to balance speed with comfort and style, rather than competing at the extreme high end of the go-fast boat performance spectrum. This approach results in a boat that maintains impressive velocity while offering a more refined boating experience.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin Mercury 525 EFI racing engines paired with Bravo 1 XR ITS outdrives, the 353 Fastech delivers substantial thrust through its five-bladed props. However, the significant power can cause propeller ventilation during takeoff, requiring careful throttle management to get on plane smoothly. Once on plane, the boat accelerates rapidly and handles confidently without exhibiting chine walk, a common issue in high-performance boats at speeds exceeding 50 to 70 miles per hour. The boat's performance metrics include a top speed of 80.2 miles per hour at 85.9 gallons per hour fuel consumption, yielding a range of approximately 125 miles. At a more economical cruising speed of 47.4 miles per hour and 35.4 gallons per hour fuel burn, the range extends to 179 miles. The 353 Fastech reaches plane in 6.5 seconds and accelerates from zero to 30 miles per hour in 10.1 seconds. Maneuvering at lower speeds around 40 to 45 miles per hour feels solid and stable, with responsive handling suitable for operators of varying skill levels. The pivot point for tight turns is conveniently located near the windshield, allowing for nimble control in close quarters.

Engine Compartment and Maintenance

The engine compartment houses the twin Mercury 525 EFI racing engines with limited space for extensive mechanical work. While major repairs may be challenging due to restricted access, routine maintenance tasks such as oil and fuel filter changes are straightforward. The compartment is well organized, with double-clamped hoses and a visible bilge area. Notably, the hull interior is finished with gel coat, enhancing durability and ease of cleaning.

Conclusion

While Formula does not position the 353 Fastech as the fastest boat in its class, its top speed of over 80 miles per hour is more than sufficient for most enthusiasts. The boat combines strong performance with ease of handling and practical maintenance considerations, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a balanced go-fast boat experience.
