You have the scope. All you need is the Dobsonian base.
Lots of folks have made Dob bases for their scopes. Gives you 2 options to use the same OTA: EQ or Dob.
I have seen some really nice Dob bases with an opening box where you place the OTA in and lock the box. Takes all of 5 seconds. 
or side bearings mounted to some tube rings.
Create, enjoy  |
of course!
These cost less than $50 each to make, with change left over for a coldie or two to baptise with.
