This will be a bold statement but I can back it up. We have what I’m sure is the cleanest and most well equipped 2003 356 out there. It is for sale but we just received an offer we are considering. We are offering it at $109,900. If your interested please reach out and I’ll keep you posted how the sale goes. The survey done last September came in at above average.
As far as power and economy, I have the 8.1s which is plenty of power. I cruise her at around 3500 burning roughly 30GPH cruising at 18-20KTS. She’ll do 30KTS at WOT but I only do that once in a blue moon to “blow the carbs out” :approve: Diesels might give a little bit of an edge but definitely not worth the $80,000 it cost at time of build. I have been in every possible access point on this boat and am impressed with the fit and finish of this boat. If you have any questions about this model please feel free to PM me and I’ll give you my number. I’m also a pro aviator. Good luck to you and welcome to this forum people here are the best!
Thank you for the help!

Hi Ken,

I had a 356 and now own a 396 so if I can be of any assistance let me know.
