Possibly the most beautiful 39 and 43 cat!!
 
Today I was absolutely floored!! I was shown the brand new, top secret 398 Motion Powerboat. I know this is a very bold statement but it is by far the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. The lines are so sleek and beautiful I can't even explain it. Motion was sold a few years ago to a gentleman named Manny and he kept telling me "Just wait, your next boat is going to be another Motion". I kept telling him it would have to be something pretty incredible to get me away from MTI. I promised him I wouldn't say too much but so I won't give any details. All I can say is wait until you see this boat. He also showed me the drawngs for the new 43' that will be ready mid summer 07. Words can't even describe what these boats are like. He is using all the best, newest materials. They have some of the trickest features out there. Manny hit it out of the park with the design of both of these models. I'm so sure these new Motions will be the hottest new boat out there, my name is on the 2nd 43!!

Nice, I cant wait to see them. I have always been a fan of Motion. Our next boat could in fact be one. It's good to see Manny doing great things with the company.

Gino,
By the way, my Dad was at the Cincinnati bike show and meet the people that built your bike. When you see him again, ask him about Patten Cycles.

No, It's in a locked warehouse under cover at Motion. I only know 3 people out of Motion that has seen the 39'. I love my 35', that's why I refuse to sell it and still hold on to it like an old teddy bear BUT, the new models are in a whole different class!! They are so cool looking, they remind me of a concept car at a car show that will never be put into production nd you'll never be able to buy one.The only difference is these are in production!!
Oh yeah, and it's a boat not a car!:D

Hi, My buddy Victor told me he ran into him. He said they spent a lot of time discussing my luck!!

Small world! Even smaller with OSO!!

Yep. Were going to visit his shop when were down for the Miami show and of course, stop by and see Larry. He said the next time were in town he'd take us out on a 35 Motion. It's one of the few boats on our short list. We were going to buy Madd Carter but we got there a day late and someone had a deposit on it but was having trouble getting the money. Too bad the deal didn't fall through.

Motion's never had a center pod. They are a true cat.

Having owned two Motions myself it would take one heck of boat to get me out of an MTI back into a Motion. Must be one heck of a design to impress Gino. Styling aside those Motions were not anywhere near the build quality of the MTI. Hopefully they will improve that as well. Maybe Larry will let me take a peak at the new designs next week while I am in Miami for the boat show.

Are they still using the splashed Skater 40 bottom?

No, Totally new. Every inch of the boat is new. I will tell you I was a little skeptical on the looks before I saw it. I was expecting to see the old Motion with some changes. I was floored when I saw it. About a year ago I was going to buy a Doug Wright from Doug before he made his exclusive deal. I was looking at the Mystic which I had to come to the hard reality it was out of my range to do the boat properly. I have a 39 MTI that I love. When I saw the new Motion I was speechless. (which is not like me!) I don't think it's fair to compre it to anything else but sleekness reminded me of the Mystic.

I'm sure they will lbe awesome. Gino make sure they use Coast Guard approved fuel tanks and not a fiberglass tank. Just trying to help you bro!

Hey Brad,
I think you'll be quite impressed as will everyone else with the new Motion. It has been fully redesigned and engineered with tons of attention being paid to fit and finish detais as well as the beautiful design. We hope to see you and everyone else during the boat show so you can see the progress.

sweet. After watching the MTIs give the business to everyone in Destin, it will be great if they have a boat to run with them:cool:

If the performance is there, the competition better watch out. It's got the looks for sure! They told me the price is going to be substantially less then other boats of similar size. If the boat runs, it's going to put a hurting on the sales of some of the other cats out there.

Will it be on display at Miami, or is there somewhere one could view one.

Could be Bayliner.:D
People souldn't believe stuff posted anyways but it was just a joke. I almost bought a 40 Motion straight from Manny awhile ago.

TeamSaris 02-09-2007 06:04 PM

Great to see Motion coming out with some new stuff!!

Hey, maybe they stole "Tyson"'s design? :D

Will be interesting to see what it looks like. Oh, here is an idea. Post a photo.
