Guys

 

I’ve been debating whether to sell my 06 SJ200 Koa or the 94 Centennial SB

 

I think the Koa has to stay , especially as I have a Centennial 34 Jumbo to go as well( make a nice matched pair with the J200)

 

Can anyone please advise the spec of the J200?

The docs say J200 VS but what are the woods etc

 

Thanks in advance
