I'd say if it is in great condition, then it is definitely worth 80 bucks. And, I'm not 100% certain the bindings would work. Only because there was recently a change from 8" hole spacing to 6". If those bindings are still 8", then you're golden. I just can't remember what season Ronix bindings changed. Someone else will know.

If he rides hard adn whatnot the core might be going soft sooner than expected, but the murrary boards are awesome. If you can I would try to find a used one online, you could probably get a newer one for about the same price + 20$ or so for shipping. But, its certainly not a bad deal.

difinatly worth it! as long as you get pre 09 bindings, ie 08 and down then they will fit.
in 09 they went to 6" binding spacing.

what size shoe you where? that binding you listed was really huge sizes only.

thanks stang, always there to help!!! lol
so this board is def worth $80, i saw msrp is $420.00 and i see a few stores are sellnig this between $150-$200 before shipping.

i wear a size 10.5 New Balance like i said i wanted to go open toe, but it seems everyone is liking closed toe a whole lot more now.
* i just wanted to give other people the opportunity of riding my board to see if they liked it. and i would have loved to get a little bit of air in between my toes, lol.

they still fit, but you loose the inner most and outer most hole options

best to my knowledge 'XX-'08 = 8", '09-'10 =6"
there were some odd ball 7" in there for a bit too.

i put my 09 reliks(6") on a 8" 139 board and was only able to get a max stance width of 19.5" at the heels, much too narrow for myself (im only 5'-10" to 6' i think)
i typically ride at 22" at the heels.

alright thanks a lot guys, going to look at the board tonight, and probably going to end up getting it, now im just looking for a steal of a deal on some bindings, if anyone comes across any can you please let me know...

and how is sizing on bindings???
I wear a 10.5 new balance shoe

STANG KILLA SS · Posted: Feb 19, 2010 8:46 am Post subject:

i wear a 10 1/2 shoe, and size 10 ronix CT fits perfect.
i had a set of 08 shane CTs size 10-11, and they were too big.

open toes are pretty forgiving on size though. had a pair of large LF fusion bindings that would fit just about everyone.

Is it just some companies that changed spacing maybe? I'm 1 hole in and my width is 21" center to center on the heels. When I first got my '09 I was still using '07 model bindings, and set them all the way out, was a bit much. When I got my '08 bindings I moved in one notch. I am on a slightly bigger board (141) so who knows???

I had that board (which was stolen) and it was AWESOME for a continuous rocker. Popped just like a three stage but was a board that you could take out your first pass and stick all of your tricks without having to change up your edging unlike a 3-stage which all pop slightly differently do the the variations in rocker design. My only concern with a board that old is losing its pop. Wakeboards are just like baseball bats, over time they lose their pop with enough use. My other problem is a used board from 2006 for $80 is ridiculous. You can get 09 boards on ebay brand new for $150 and i bet new 08 boards close to the $100 mark. DONT BUY THIS BOARD TONIGHT, I REALLY HOPE THIS ISN'T TO LATE.

jeffery, yeah on my 140 (140.9) shane it was not a problem. only on the 139 hyperlite
