hi from qld Australia i'm interested to know what price/value you would expect to pay for a gen 1 epic v8 blue tip - thats if i can find one ! I know condition is everything but if it had a few issues such as maybe a stress fracture or something like steering tube replacement as an example on a older ski thats 11-12 yrs old ,would it be worth it or am i just asking for trouble . Any thoughts ? safe paddling.
