Thanks for the offer, but I think I have to pass. I had the Skunk Ape 180 last season and found the base a little soft and sticky for me. I switched to the HP, which feels harder and faster, but maxes at 170, which is why I placed the ad! I love the big Libs, but think I'll probably be going in a different direction.

Yop, seems like this is the direction I'm headed as well. I've had two independent sources recommend a RadAir 187 Heli-Cat, a board so rare and elusive that Google can't seem to locate a verifiable image, yet mocks you with a map of the lucky bastards who possess one. It's precisely stuff like this that led to the Occupy movement. Luckily, Donek is local, built to spec, and has a great reputation in this fine community. I'm pretty excited!

A-frame is sold.

Thanks for checking on the Grocer, but I'll have to pass. Had the 180 Skunk Ape last year and still not quite enough length! Width, with my size 13s, is also a qualifying factor...

The A-frame is a bit of a ripper. Should have mentioned I rode it in soft boots. Camber looks like it's all there...

SOLD.
I have only logged, at most, 15 days on it, since I bought it in - I think - 2007. Probably closer to ten days. Edges and base are in great condition. Top sheet has the binding marks you'd expect (was mounted with Palmer Power Link Flex discs), but very few nicks.
There's a nearly imperceptible base pucker near the nose where the board met the gravel parking lot after slipping off my car on its first day out. The picture of the pucker makes it appear worse than it is. Hard to see if you're looking at it from right above. No edge or sidewall issues there. Doesn't affect ride or integrity at all.
I cleaned up the base and waxed with a fresh coat of Dominator and Bluebird at the end of last season. Hasn't seen the snow since last February. I'm looking to go bigger than 170!
$200 shipped, US. Payment via PayPal.
I'm new to the community, but have lurked for awhile since no other forum seems to devote time to long boards. Not sure how to get someone to vouch for me, but I have connected with at least one credible member!

I'm looking to possibly expand my riding with something in the 195 cm range. I'm looking for a big mountain board that has good float in powder but will let me rip down groomers. I ride soft boots.
I've been playing around with the idea of a Donek Hazelwood (because I have size 13 boots and the custom width is tantalizing) but hesitating at the pricetag. If I'm being honest, I'm hesitating at the anticipation of my wife's likely reaction to my lack of hesitation at the pricetag. So I figured I should do my due diligence in seeing what's out there in the pre-owned market.
I'm thinking the Glissade Big Gun 195 or Lib Tech Doughboy Shredder are two obvious options. I think the Glissades are wider/burlier, which suits me better. Anyone willing to part with one without breaking the bank? Thanks!

After all this, i opted for the 200 Donek Hazelwood. Thanks to all who responded, especially Bryan and Mario for trying to work out a deal for the Heli-Cat! The Hazelwood will be ultrawide to accommodate my big boots. I'll still keep an ear to the ground for a Big Gun 195, but otherwise, this thread's closed!
