I am a Polaris and Yamaha lover. My first sled ever was an old (even at that time!) 1971 Polaris. I forget which model it was, but it was big and heavy. It had a 297cc Sachs one lunger. Wasn't fast by any stretch of the imagination, but we could fit four people on it! The track was junk though, so we ended up putting that engine on a '72 Boa Ski. Much lighter sled, and a ton more fun. Over the years, I went through a couple other sleds. Scorpion, Rupp, and a Polaris Mustang. All long gone now. The best sled I had back in those days (early-mid 1980's) was a '74(?) Yamaha SL338. It had no engine on it, so we put a 433 engine on it and man that thing could rip! It finally blew the track in early 1989, and we never fixed it. :( Believe it or not, that was the lase snowmobile I had until a few years ago when I picked up this 1995 Indy440. Bought it for 400 as a non-runner. Had it going ten minutes after I got it home and absolutely fell in love with it. I actually have some videos about it on the channel. I had been wanting to get a one lunger just for bombing around the trailer park and some light trail riding. Really wanted a Yamaha Bravo, but the right deal came along on this 1988 Yamaha Inviter. Couldn't walk away from the deal, so brought it home. During the one week of winter we actually had, discovered just how much fun that little Inviter can be. Not fast, at only 300CC single, but the fun factor is off the chart. And yes, of course I had the Indy out for a few trail rides as well. Just didn't do much filming. Wanted to get as much riding in as I could. As for Arctic Cat? I have no issues with them at all, even though I have never owned one. Wouldn't turn down the right deal on one. SkiDoo? Hmmmm. I see a lot of them around, and some look really sharp, but I have never owned one, and don't see one in my future...although that could be subject to change under the right conditions. Anyways, sorry about the long comment. Just wanted to share a little of my history with snowmobiles.
It’s amazing to hear other people’s story so don’t be sorry! I’m only 20 so hearing others story and how they love the sport and whatnot is just awesome! I’ll definitely check out the vid on your channel! Thanks for leaving a comment as well
