A 60 or an 80 would be good.  They have a network of people that will 
help you keep it going for sure.   They are way cheap now due to the 
poor fuel mileage.  Built like a tank and will always have value.

Plus, the 80 (and maybe the 60) has a split rear door - horizontally!  
You could leave the top open and have your board hang out the back.  It 
is key to have the board showing at least a little, no?
