[NoWeddings.com]

Listing title wasn't updating (still said 165)... The board is a 175. Here's the original thread with pics et al...

howdy greg,
prior says its a 185.
i sent them the specs pic, go figure!

I know they made the board, but it's hard to argue with a tape measure. Board is 175.

Also, confirmed the waist...
7.6 in = 19.4cm

Thanks!

:lol: you were pretty adamant it was a 165 before, too!

;)

No doubt. Being a total newb, I had no reason to doubt what Terry told me.

Again, sorry for the confusion all.

[D-Sub]

Just ribbin ya.

Apparently Terry didnt know either, OR the people who built the darn thing!!!!

hilarious

NOW

on to the REALLY fun stuff, apparently prior doesnt make a 175 anymore :)

it appears as though they have lengthened all models by 2cm, as there is no 185 anymore either...

I think that 2 extra centimeters are coming from round tail :rolleyes:

Whoa, someone grabbed my avatar. You want to throw down, man?

I swear I got it elsewhere, but just put it up today, so I'll yield.

It's brilliant.

Why the look? Yes...from the round tail no doubt. I guess that means that most likely the 175 has the same general specs as the current 177

[D-Sub]

most likely specs are 177:

With a custom though, couldn't those figures (esp radius) vary drastically?

[pokkis]

If you have serial number in board then you could check speck from Prior

CRAP! I forgot the custom! That board is a pain in the a--! You should just send it to me and be rid of it!

;)

pokkis is right :rolleyes: is there a serial number?

West Craven already contacted Prior and they indicated it was a 185, so I don't trust any of the specs lammed into the board.

My Prior just had it written with a felt pen. Wiped it down with alcohol and lost everything. Luckily I remembered the waist and sidecut, but the Ser.# is gone for good.
