Yours and couple other boats on the market are priced so low it's amazing they aren't moving, but at this point I think a lot of it has to do with the time of year and the frigid weather. Even if someone wanted to pull the trigger, it's tough to sea trial it etc... and nobody in their right mind wants to spend this kind of money on a 'blind' purchase.
Warmer weather is coming and I'm sure the Motion will move once the weather breaks.

Or grow a set like they do in Tenn ...

LOL, if it didn't have the 500's/bravos I would! By the time I modified it to my taste, I'd be in it for more than I'd care to be, not to mention the hassle. At that point I'd be better off with another boat.
Most folks love the 500's and it's obviously a really sharp 35, so I'm suprised it hasn't sold!
Wasn't I the one that suggested that you buy yours blind??? I never said I was right in the head!

He responds back "put the cover on for the winter and has snow on it" Ooooookay. WTF????????
I ask him if we can brush the snow off it so I can take a peek at it, and that I understand it's probably winterized and wouldn't ask him to start it at this point. If I were to buy it I'd have a full survey done... NO RESPONSE!
A couple other guys haven't responded after I inquired weeks ago about cats they are interested in selling. WTF?
I'm not sure what's more frustrating at this point, buying or selling a boat! One would think in this market "selling", but after being serious about buying a couple of boats now, I'm starting to think it's the other way around!

I guess you guys are a little more serious about selling your cat than some others are then... I tried to go look at a 36 today. Reading the listing on the boat the seller sounded like he wanted it sold pretty bad. I contacted him earlier and told him I was a serious buyer and that I'd like to see the boat as I am driving south and will be in his area (today actually).

We can sea trial any day.
