hey Gary. wish i knew your location earlier today. I drove back and forth to boston and could have headed over to hudson to show you the boards. since they have been around the block, i'd like you to see them and maybe even try them out before you commit to keep. don't want you to end up with another set of boards that don't do it for you.
The appearence of the boards is meaningless to me. (Heck, if you had come by, you could have seen her majesty "The Tank" ...pure unpainted 1959 aluminum hull ugly, but she's totally functional, which is what counts to me.)
I'm willing to travel, (& I'm retired) so I have the time, where do you live??
