Thanks, guy in town has a decent one for sale for $1,500. Was gonna swap out my 54 for his 60. Just wanted to see how far away his $1500 was from a dealer brand new one (plus tax too I guess)

One MORE advantage of the 60" other than 6"......now you can add spacers to the rear! And that makes a huge difference - you can get 2" each side - It is unreal the difference, the pucker factor goes way down on side hills!

IF you are swapping out, that 1500 would be a little high, if buying outright, it would a be a fair deal.

I just picked up a BX with no deck and went through the same thing. People want basically what a new one costs for a used deck, it's insane. $2k seems to be about right on. I searched and ended up finding a used 60" for far less but it's hard to find one in good shape and it's easy to spend all you think you have saved refurbishing a used one. Good luck.

By swapping out - means I would sell the 54" to recoup the costs

I have spacers on the back already - but had to go smaller because of the 54"

Not sure if I would swap them out too for bigger if i swapped to a 60"


but yeah - $1,500 used - doesnt look in bad shape but hard to tell how many hours on it - compared to $500 more for brand new (plus tax) and then i know its got zero hours

I installed the Bro-Tek 2" rear spacers with the 60" deck.
I think that was max without major modifications on the deck, which I would not do anyways.
