Good thought, but he's paying the bill and he's prepared to spend the money. I warned him it could be pricey, but he doesn't really care (he can afford it). I bring up two atv's in addition to my sled.

I sold my second sled on NH craigslist when I came up last February. It was a 95 Formula 670. It ran well, but I was always tinkering with it for some reason. It also was not a friendly trail sled. Great lake sled, but it beat the crud out of you on the trails. Pull start only and ropes would break now and them. Big engine to pull start. The registration fee has gotten to be too much for just a couple weeks worth of use and then, four machines to register. Three machines is too much as it is.

At some point I may look for a simple 340 or 440, air cooled, elec start sled for a second machine. Not in the budget now though.
