I'm looking into getting a stretch quad and I had been planning on custom-ordering one from the factory, but I found one on craigslist that is almost exactly what I was looking for for about half the price of a new one.  I was just wondering if anyone had anything to say one way or the other.  I've had bad experiences buying used boards in the past (even though I knew what to look for), I just don't know if I could pass up the offer ($450 - $470 ish depending what he wants for the fins), especially considering (after getting fins and a tail pad) I'd be looking at dropping almost a grand on a new one.


Thanks

also, ive got a really retro lightning bolt pintail single fin (like 7 foot-ish, never bothered measuring it), and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with them in bigger surf (8-10ft).  it doesn't have a lot of rocker to it and it's really thick, so it paddles really easy but ive only taken it out in smaller stuff so far.  i'm just going through the boards i found in my grandpa's basement seeing if any would work as a step-up and thought i'd give this a shot (i've also got a really retro pearson arrow thats about the same shape and size).  any thoughts would be appreciated
