G372XP Pro

[KingCobra98]

Anyone try one of these "pro" models? Are they worth the money?

I'm looking for a cheap saw to learn how to port and play around with different mods. I'm not confident into doing this to my more expensive saws yet, so I figure why not try it on a cheap saw or buy a used saw in decent shape.

Right now I found a used Husky 365 for $375 (2 hours away) or the G372xp Pro (new online) for around $370 with shipping.

Would definatly get the used one if it is in running condition over the clone.
You can always get a couple cheap chinese cylinders to practice on.

I've ported a couple of the Holzfforma G372XP's, make sure to get the XP as the reg 372 is a copy of the 365 Special. They turn out well and there wasn't too much to complain about. I think the Pro models are pretty close to them.

It would be a great platform to learn porting.

If you decide to go with the G372xp, they have them on Amazon for $294.
