Default FS Findeisen Spec Ski: Philadelphia Penna Area, $250

The Short Version:
------------------
Findeisen, spec ski, hammerhead bow plane, no leaks but needs work.
Fits 30" to 34" inseam. $250. No shipping. No dickering.


The Long Version:
-----------------
I've paddled it three times so far this season, and it does not leak.

But the (fiberglass?) tape that covers the deck/hull seam is starting to peel
off. This leaves a sharp edge that's already cost me some blood as I've
foundered around in the water and grabbed it the wrong way making it sort of an
anti-spec ski at the moment.

The new owner should sand off the seam cover, inspect the seam, and re-apply
some fiberglass tape.

I'd do it and then put it up for more like $1,200, but I've got one of
Hunt Johnson's 12'6" wave skis coming and, in the interest of domestic
tranquility, would prefer to get this thing out of our back yard before the wave
ski arrives - or as soon thereafter as possible.

I'm 6'5", 34" inseam and it fits except for being a little narrow for my broad
butt. The rudder pedals are adjustable and can go back up to four inches.

I paddle it at the local mud hole, in the bay behind Atlantic City, and in the
ocean off Ocean City and/or Corson's Inlet.
