do these come "pre drilled"? from the factory?

i was looking on craigslist and found some used 06/07 invaders for sale with marker 3.2 bindings for $200. the person said they didnt use the predrilled holes and got their bindings center mounted but not on the pre drilled holes. is it worth it?

is it me or do marker bindings look rediculously ugly? they're fat and flat in the front. i know how a binding looks doesn't really affect anything, but its just so ugly to me! makes me almost loose my interest in the seller's ski.

correct. they did pre-drill that year then stopped cause their bindings sucked.  i have those same skis and  i love them my favorite ones to ride but they are a work cause they get worn and so flimsy. mine almost look like they are rockered from all the use. other than that i love them and are excellent for doing butters

^^you're saying they are flimsy? as in don't hold up well to physical abuse? is there anything i should check for when i check out the ski?

should i buy it for $150? with the bindings included?
i need to make a quick decision now!

also, i usually ride in the 159-160-161 range, will moving up to 171 feel noticeably different?

i would say they can handle the ubuse but these were the year before these used the new 3d cap so mst likely will delam i could also be wrong cause i am pretty hard on my stuff.  as i meant in flimsy is the flex of the ski just goes to butter, not as much pop, like i said before i use mine all the time and when i use my newer ones i relize how soft they are.  that is my personal view and i think you would be happier on something dif since you like to ski else where.
