Do you recognize this MBS?

Hello, newbie here. I wanted to introduce myself, and also ask a question.

I Just got a twister II from Dakitez (thanks Dino) and am now looking for my first board. I thought I had a line on a nice used comp 16, but it fell through. I found this one for sale, but the guy does not know what model it is. Can anyone recognize the model from the graphics?

Looks like a 2003 MBS Comp 26X



Corey has specs for it on his site, windpowersports.com

It says its replacement is the comp 95x which is a great cruiser board... if I were you I'd grab it if it was a good deal

The top graphics look like the Comp 26X. I had the guy send a photo of the bottom, and it looks like it has clouds on it, which does not look to match the 26X.

Bottom graphics match the 26x as shown here

But in that "bottom" image you posted, I see rusty bolts and rust on the springs. Not a good sign for longevity in many cases. Depending on the deal you're getting, may be worth it to grab it and buy new trucks for it from MBS.

Could you have him send you tip-to-tip photos of both the top and the bottom of the deck.

erratic winds - you got it spot on, the graphics match. Thanks!
