Man, it is slowwww. I have mine listed on multiple web sites and with an East Coast broker for a steal and only one low ball offer a couple of weeks ago. Not much action at all. Good luck.

No action, I was thinking about detuning the boat+outdrive, like replacing the outdrive with a stock bravo 1 and a 454 engine combo. Selling the good parts outright.

I just got off the phone today looking for a 496 to put back in mine, same thing. I have a phone call into a place and will see if they take my trade. I doubt I will swap motors but it is an option.

I sold my 500 EFI and bought a refurbished 496 mag and dressed it out. I finished it a couple of weeks ago and went out twice. Last Saturday I was out and someone wanted to look at it and I told them it was on the market. The next day their friend came with them and bought it. It is kind of bitter sweet. Sold it but lost a perfect turn key boat. Cool thing is I am riding with my brother for a while and I get to shop! So I still get to go to the lake.
