FOR SALE 6'5" Campbell Brothers Bonzer

File this under the last F*(king thing I want to do, but I've been hit by a series of expensive bad-luck events lately (which was topped-off by my parked car being totaled by a disoriented senior citizen earlier this week), so I'm tapping my quiver in attempt to make up the deficits I'm running.

So, it pains me to do this, but:

6'5" Bonzer for sale, located in Lavallette, NJ. Moonlight glassing, rock-solid quality, absolutely zero dents on the bottom and only the slightest dimpling on the deck (we are talking really solid glassing here).

Dimensions are not written on the board, but I am pretty sure they are 6'5" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" I do believe I can make out the serial number through the pigment, so if precise dimensions are needed, maybe the Campbell Brothers will have the info in their records.

The rails are quite foiled down by Campbell Bros. standards (most bonzers are too beefy for my likes), but still has plenty of float and paddle for my 6'0" 185-190 frame.

No dings whatsoever except a spider-cracking on the rail near the tail. I included a picture with no sense of scale except the weave of the glass visible through the resin. It is small (only an inch or so) and apparently only the gloss/fill coat (no leakage evident, but I covered it with electrical tape just to be safe). I'm going to try to seal it up and gloss it out once the weather warms up a tad.

UPDATE: The tail is sealed up and I'm dropping the price to $500 with both fins included. This is $75 off what is posted on craigslist, ebay, etc.
