Should I be buying new skis?

I can get some new AR7s for 330 and I have had these for only one year, I am not going to use them as water ramp skis because I have one pair of bindings (unless some one wants to sell me some)

I will sell someone these as water ramp or urban skis if the would like

The shop says it will be 120 to fix these, the base is separating from top there is two edge dents and one of the edge dents caused a bubble in my base aswell as three sidewall gashes

Would it be worth it to buy some new skis, there is already two bases gauges and some little topsheet chips

Do you notice any difference at all when riding them? If not I'd say no, even if you do notice small difference I'd still say no. Unless you have the money to spend, save yourself the $400ish dollars. They should hold up for another season, if not buy a new pair when they break.

I didn't really notice anything but Happened right away and I'm thinking ir had them repaired so much that it may just be worth it to get new ones while they are on sale

That ski will break at some point. All skis do. If I find a really good ski and have some money laying around ill get a new ski as a replacement for when mine brake. If you can find skis for cheap, and you have the money, why not?
