Are there any 2013 and newer 350 owners here?

I walked by a 2016 350 all summer long at our marina, still for sale last weekend when we took our last walk of the year.

Looks like a great boat. I hope you'll enjoy it! Keep an eye on those portholes. I noticed some flaking paint already on the new one I mentioned above. Seemed like an unusual design/concept for the window/housing. And terrible placement depending on what kind of bumpers/docks you're using...
 
Just took delivery on one of the first 2017 350s 2 weeks ago that me and my wife had built it's a awsome boat. I spend just about every day on it.

You went from a 330 to 350? Did you not want to go larger?
The new 400 is awesome.

The new 400 is awesome. To be honest, we really didn't want to buy a brand new boat. Ideally, we wanted a 2011 or newer 370, but there aren't that many for sale that are clean and un-abused. From there we started looking at the newer 350's but every time we found a used one for sale it was off the market too quick. In the end, we got a hell of a deal on this boat, so went for it.

My dealer has a 2012 370 fresh water boat for sale. ;)
Located on the Potomac River, nice little cruise back up the coast to RI for ya.

Enjoy the new boat!
 
No we looked at the first coupe being built in the factory and it's nice but there's somthing about blasting down the lake at 46 mph with the wind in your face that I'm not ready to give up yet.

For a lake boater that's great. For me, it's 90 miles from my home dock to the Chesapeake bay and then another 20-30 before I hit the nearest town. I need a break from the wind, sun and 95+ heat. We do 1-2 bay trips a year and a few others along the river that have us going for a few hours at a time.
 
Rakelly33 what is your cruise speed and what rpm are you running ? Did you get axius and big blocks ?
thanks John.
 
Hey John I haven't realy monitored where the best economical speed is in this boat yet but I do have the 8.2 axius seacore drives. And today I was doing 32mph at 36-3700rpms and the boat sounded smooth at that. Full fuel water and everything else for 4 days on the hook.

Just curious....is that speed part of the break in routine for new engines? How many hours do you need on the engines before running at that rpm?
 
We seatrialed today. Smooth boat, really impressed with how it handles and how quick the 8.2's are.

One thing I noticed is that there are no seacocks for the engines. Do they get all the raw water through the drives?
