I have a Solid wood 9'2 dewey weber longboard from the sixties. I was wondering if you guys think i should sell it. I dont ride it but how much do you think i could get for it?
Are you sure? Are you sure it's wood, or just very yellow/brown foam? What's the serial number on it? If you can't find it, it's probably foam. Pics would help- what model? If it's a Harold Iggy model, then we might be able to talk.
depends - I'd say if its top condition / rare model and/or both under the best case scenario not to expect anyone to offer more than $800, more likely closer to 3-4 bills. I picked up a Dewey Weber D fin from the early 60's, needed about 2-hrs work to make it rideable/watertight, I paid $450 at Beach House in Bayhead; that was even overpriced a little bit, but it was what I wanted, so I paid it.
What the heck. . . . . . is a Weber "D" fin from the early sixties? Are you thinking of the "hatchet" fin on the Weber Performer which was out in '67? In actuality, the original hatchet fin used the "Wonder Bolt" which backed out of the rear of the fin onto a steel ball-bearing glassed into the back of the box. Unfortunately the bearing didn't hold up and when it broke loose, you lost your fin in the water as well.
if you are serious about selling it please let me know. I collect old surfboards and would love this board for my collection. I have boards to trade and cash. Please let me know either way. Would give you $175 if in good condition or see what we could work out. Thanks matt
Yes its solid wood, the fin broke off a long time ago, and where it came out thers all wood and its green and yellow. It doesnt have a stringer, but i do need a hatchet fin to replace the old one. thers maybe 3 dings on it that are repaired, but its a really tough, heavy board. Its a cool board but if i sell it ill never see it again and its from the sixties so i cant replace it, but if im 100% sure that i want to sell it ill post another thread on it saying " 60's weber longboard for sale" or something like that but ill post photos on in a little bit.
well you guys were right, i had to take off the weak repair on the nose( i just reglassed it so now its good) and what he did is he must of painted the board then did fiberglass coats over the paint; and the stringer's like 2 inches long. but its not water logged its really thick and fiberglased massively.I thought it was wood because usually you always see the stringer and the stringer was so thick where the fin is it looked like solid wood and i couldnt see any foam under the paint so, you guy were right, its foam. but its still from the sixties.
Hmmmmmm. . . Clearly not one of Dewey's better efforts. Now if you had an original Tom Blake redwood, then you'd have something.
Im not going to argue with someone who was on the weber team, but its also been under my porch from 1971-2006. i kind of want to sell it so i can get another shortboard, but its a tough descision, its like one of those things that you never use it but you still want it to be there, do you get what i mean?
play some "Pet Sounds" keep it on the roof and drive down ocean highway to NSIR and ride it for a dawn season in nice rolling knee high and you will be glad you kept it. Im sure you have some cool memories of it.
sell it to someone who will ride it not put in on their wall. I'll top the "butt" and give you $200 if it's in as good a condition as it looks.
