Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 350 Sun Sport 2013 vs Formula 353 FASTECH Sport 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Formula 350 Sun Sport 2013 against a modified vee Formula 353 FASTECH Sport 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 350 Sun Sport 2013 at 35,0 ft versus Formula 353 FASTECH Sport 2008 at 35,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 350 Sun Sport 2013 tips the scales at 1 347 lbs — 1 252 lbs more than the Formula 353 FASTECH Sport 2008 at 95 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Formula 350 Sun Sport 2013 and Formula 353 FASTECH Sport 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
