Congratulations on your new machine. I too just bought new the same machine, same track, and same engine for several of the same reasons as you did. I am very pleased so far.
Have to say from one Newfoundlander to another other you are extremely well spoken and crystal clear with 0 profanity. Congrats on that . Extremely informative as well . Excellent job doing this video. Love your dogs being with you. Shows they are a part of your family.Have sent it along to some of my Florida friends which is pretty much the first time which speaks volumes .
I agree Many people I know have switched from an expedition to a Skandic for all the reasons you have explained. People ask me why I have a 24 inch skandic and I tell them it’s because they don’t make a 30” wide track
I agree Skandic all day. Sweet sleds either way but where you ride and I swear they run forever we have one that’s 30 yrs old and still use it to bust trails if we get ❄️ 😂
Chuck, I’m of the expedition camp. I have a 2023. Same track but in the expedition. These are simply the best there is for back country adventures in bottomless snow and slush. They’re crazy good. Congrats on your new ride buddy! Well deserved! Love the accent too bye! 😅
Fantastic snowmobile, running a 2003 Ski Doo 600, first machine was 1962 Ski Doo Olympic with a whopping 14 hp single lunger between your knees. Enjoy well earned
Mr porter she's a beautiful machine and where you live your life could depend on it I'd love to get one for my granddaughters but after another El Nino winter I could never justify it your a lucky man I miss winter thank you and stay well
Love the new skidoo .I have an expedition 900 ace with 24 " track. I love the added flotation the wider track offers congratulations on your new skidoo.
Congrats on the new machine, with the amount of snow you guys get , and living off grid I'd say definitely a good idea. You definitely did your homework and you bought what is practical for you.
Congratulations on your new Skidoo. And you said it right about dealing with your local dealer. They all have there problems. Getting them fixed is usually the problem.
So I couldn’t wait till morning to watch the video lol. Congrats on the sled. I added a headlamp to the inside of my box lid with two screws so u have a light inside the box when it’s dark. And am really impressed with the brp chainsaw clamp was an easy install. Congratulations again nice to see Melanie and the dogs in the video
Congratulations on the new skidoo , wise choice. I see you put as much thought into the purchase as I do. I love my 2024 skidoo SE expedition , our area annual snow fall is 4 feet, 98% of my riding is frozen lakes. At times I pull 3 sleighs , if slush conditions allow. If not the machine can carry all my fishing gear on its own, BRP has many options to assist with that. You’re right about the dealerships , they make all the difference in the world. Enjoy your new ride.
Hey Chuck it’s awesome to see that you bought the identical machine I bought me and my each one wife to ride! ❤ we look forward to see all of the adventures you go on.
Loved being on Pop’s Citation and Skandic back as a kid in the 80’s and 90’s. They were work horses, paid for themselves over several times in all the wood they hauled for sure. Awesome content as usual!
Nice set of LED light on her now make a world of difference for night driving. You're not wrong either, they're a great community oriented company with excellent service. He's an easy feller to talk to and makes time for his customers.
He tried to sell me the lights and I’m thinking I will eventually pick them up. I know the guys on the scheffervile trip had them and they made a world of difference
Great video buddy ,Congratulations on the new snow machine . You are lucky you have snow to use it , winters are certainly becoming more unpredictable with snow in NL .Thanks for sharing and have a great day .
Congratulations on your new SKANDIC 900 ace Chuck for some reason when you said in your last video you have something new coming I thought it was going to be a new snowmobile enjoy
Hey Chuck, congrats on the new skidoo, I’m planning on getting a new one next year, like you I have an older skandic wide track now and love it so thanks for the great review and helping me decide on my next model. Take care
MAN that's a great looking machine! You know what's best for you and your needs. Makes me want to go snowmobiling and I'm on my way to Florida. In West Virginia salivating over your new machine. Best of luck with it Chuck and I'm looking forward to seeing it a lot
From Alberta I agree with your decision. I have the Expedition model. Chuck I run in ECHO mode 90 % of the time. I groom snowmobile trails and find in that ECHO mode is so smooth. Not to jumpy and responsive for smooth starts etc. Enjoy your new sled Mr. We had sucky.low snow this year I only have 14Km on my sled this year..
I have a 2022 Skandic with the 600 etec the Ace was not available when I bought mine. I actually chose it from watching your videos. I could not be happier with it. Like you I use it for utility and Guiding Ice fisherman in Maine. Congratulations!
Great video Chuck. As soon as I seen the video I got my note book and pen. Not sure I can produce a video but I got down all the reasons I need a new machine. Hopefully my wife will be impressed. Wish me luck. Lol😂
Great looking machine! The modularity is Awesome! It takes a long time to make an expensive decision. I'm not a " Skidoo " expert. But they might not make a 30 wide track because the centrifugal weight of the track coupled with possibly impeding with your turning radius. This might add more stress to the tracks running gear when turning. You said it yourself in a later video, " The machine is designed to deal with the conditions! " Grats on your purchase. Very cool!
Congratulations! I love mine its a 2021 same model and engine. Just fyi some have fuel filter issues that lead to fuel pump failure. BRP dont have a fix for this yet just changes the pump. The consensus online is that something is disintegrating and fouls the filter then in return clogs and burn the pump. Changing to your previous model pump is one way to fix the issue my skandic has been flawless for now. On another note seeing you having fun camping and fishing on your older skandic made a lasting impression so its what I ended up buying.
Hey Chuck! Congratulations on you new skidoo! Very nice machine. Thats my choice of machine. Sure is pretty. I dont like going fast either. Too many unforeseen things linger just around the corner. Congrats again bud.
Glad you love your new machine. Thanks for the info why you picked the Scandic over the expedition. Makes since when off trail for sure. Great video as always.
Wonderful ski-doo there Chuck, I hope it serves you well. My ski-doo is done for this winter, boy oh boy we had a short riding season this year... Shortest yet for me....
Yes sir buddy. I’m just sat down with my coffee and am zoning out to watch your last video. I’m thinking we will lose our snow early as well….will see-anything can happen yet
Awesome machine chuck! I have a 2016 scandic like your old one and it's amazing in the woods, this year I bought a 2024 expedition se 900 ace turbo r, it's really fun, I like having both. Enjoy!
Happy for you Chuck! Low range is a great feature and should save on belt wear. Hope it has a decompression lever for the engine in case you have to manual start it. Can you extend the height of the ski struts for better clearance? Well deserved so enjoy:)
Congrats on your new skandic!! Perfect choice for your application. I suggest the chainsaw mount, I have it and works extremely well The adjustable throttle is great but beware when you’re finger throttling, especially in tight spots where a branch can hit your hand or throttle. I have a 2024 expedition SE and added lots accessories. Wanted the skandic , but riding double with air air suspension is great, rear hand warmers, rear visor plug in and even a plug in for heated boots for the passenger,, enjoy
Loved every minute of the new sled tour!! Always look forward to your content Chuck! Always a highlight of the week to see your latest upload!! Great stuff! Keep er’ comin’ b’ye!! 😊😉
Awesome video. Fun to watch, the Skandic looks impressive. Very practical the way you set it up. Yes, agree, you don’t need a turbo for what you’re doing. Sometimes less is better.
Beautiful snowmachine!! I want one but my budget at the moment is saying; nope. LOL! Perfect machine for what you do. I agree, if you do a bunch if trail riding but also need the utility aspect, then the Expedition is the perfect snowmachine. But for primarily working and ice fishing, I'd take the Skandic as well.
Congratulations on the new snowmobile (or snow scooter as we say in Norway) and especially like the name Scandic as I am a Scanidinavian hehe. Looking forward to more videos from beautiful Canada.
Hi Chuck just started watching your videos. Love them only after several did I realize that Dale Clements is married to my niece Wendy. I am her mother’s brother. Really enjoying your videos. Thks.
Small world, eh? Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Dale is a tremendous musician. He’s after sending me a couple dozen different tubes now that he’s written specifically for the channel.
Nice sled, skidoo, snow machine 😉😉. Love the look of it. And the ski legs make a lot of sense for rough areas you travel often. Enjoy and wishing you many trouble free rides. P.S. one of those compartments will hold some Mmmm treats!!
Congratulations on your new machine. I too just bought new the same machine, same track, and same engine for several of the same reasons as you did. I am very pleased so far.
I’m hoping this one serves me as well as the last one. Feel very blessed.
Nice Sled you got yourself there Chuck Congrats
Have to say from one Newfoundlander to another other you are extremely well spoken and crystal clear with 0 profanity. Congrats on that . Extremely informative as well .

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words.❤️
What a beautiful sled !!
Well deserved splurge. If BRP ever wanted a true real life tester for the Skandic they should be giving you a call.
You've done your homework Chuck...I think you made the right choice for your needs...Enjoy your new skidoo!
I agree
Many people I know have switched from an expedition to a Skandic for all the reasons you have explained. People ask me why I have a 24 inch skandic and I tell them it’s because they don’t make a 30” wide track
I agree Skandic all day. Sweet sleds either way but where you ride and I swear they run forever we have one that’s 30 yrs old and still use it to bust trails if we get ❄️ 😂
Beauty sled, that color looks great in the snow. Skandic all the way, I love mine
Chuck, I’m of the expedition camp. I have a 2023. Same track but in the expedition. These are simply the best there is for back country adventures in bottomless snow and slush. They’re crazy good. Congrats on your new ride buddy! Well deserved! Love the accent too bye! 😅
Excellent review. Nice looking machine. The pup is more than happy with your purchase.
lol. I think she is
Fantastic snowmobile, running a 2003 Ski Doo 600, first machine was 1962 Ski Doo Olympic with a whopping 14 hp single lunger between your knees. Enjoy well earned
Amazing
Mr porter she's a beautiful machine and where you live your life could depend on it I'd love to get one for my granddaughters but after another El Nino winter I could never justify it your a lucky man I miss winter thank you and stay well

Congratulations Chuck. She’s a beauty.
I love the sand colour with the black.
Lots of fun to come for you buddy.
Enjoy.
Pat
100% Chuck. The entire video had me shaking my head, yes. The throttle was my favorite part.
Kenny

I may try the clamp. Little hesitant. Will seek out other options as well

Hey Chuck it’s awesome to see that you bought the identical machine I bought me and my each one wife to ride! ❤ we look forward to see all of the adventures you go on.
Nice looking sled Chuck enjoy it. A good dealership is the key like you said.
Loved being on Pop’s Citation and Skandic back as a kid in the 80’s and 90’s. They were work horses, paid for themselves over several times in all the wood they hauled for sure. Awesome content as usual!
Awesome machine Chuck,you deserve every bit of it.Keep the videos coming
I think you got the best of the best right there . Absolutely a beast.
Beauty machine me buddy! Can't remember the last time I was on a ski-doo, probably 25 years or so lol.
🎉🎉🎉 Oh and I almost forgot 😮…
Congratulations on your new skidoo
Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Great choice. Great tool, great toy.... Happy for you.....✋🏼✨

Beautiful machine buddy,skandic 24 inch only way to go!
Very nice, congratulations on your new sled! This makes me miss winter lol, can't wait for a fire in the snow again.
Congratulations on your new SKANDIC 900 ace Chuck for some reason when you said in your last video you have something new coming I thought it was going to be a new snowmobile enjoy
Great looking and functional rig buddy. I like your practical reasons for that machine. Makes total sense. Good stuff. Take care and enjoy.
Congratulations. Its nice to have the proper tool
Hey Chuck, congrats on the new skidoo, I’m planning on getting a new one next year, like you I have an older skandic wide track now and love it so thanks for the great review and helping me decide on my next model. Take care

nice sled, i could use a new one, 17,000km on mine now but she still puts in a good days work, have fun out there
From Alberta I agree with your decision. I have the Expedition model.
Chuck I run in ECHO mode 90 % of the time. I groom snowmobile trails and find in that ECHO mode is so smooth. Not to jumpy and responsive for smooth starts etc.
Enjoy your new sled Mr.
We had sucky.low snow this year I only have 14Km on my sled this year..
Great choice the ace 900. You will enjoy that girl! Congrats!
I have a 2022 Skandic with the 600 etec the Ace was not available when I bought mine. I actually chose it from watching your videos. I could not be happier with it. Like you I use it for utility and Guiding Ice fisherman in Maine.
Congratulations!
Perfect Dan. Glad it worked out for you my friend
Nice machine my friend. Enjoy it
I lean towards Honda and Yamaha for my power sports needs, but I must say that is one fine looking and well configured machine. Congrats!
Great video Chuck. As soon as I seen the video I got my note book and pen. Not sure I can produce a video but I got down all the reasons I need a new machine. Hopefully my wife will be impressed. Wish me luck. Lol😂
lol. Good luck!!!

Yes it seems to happen a fair percentage of the time. I really hope they find a resolve for this.
congratulations on the new machine Chuck,
Congratulations! Enjoy! You only live once!!!!
Beautiful machine Chuck. I love it.
Hey Chuck! Congratulations on you new skidoo! Very nice machine. Thats my choice of machine. Sure is pretty. I dont like going fast either. Too many unforeseen things linger just around the corner. Congrats again bud.

Well deserved my friend!!! Love the drone footage too!
Congratulations on your beautiful purchase! Fishing trip and another cook up soon? Say when!
Drone footage minus “follow mode” lol 😂
lol even that was very convincing!!
Nice machine Chuck, the machine needed to travel the big land in winter.
Awesome machine , thanks for sharing , take care , God Bless you guys
Tks Kurt buddy
Happy for you Chuck! Low range is a great feature and should save on belt wear. Hope it has a decompression lever for the engine in case you have to manual start it. Can you extend the height of the ski struts for better clearance? Well deserved so enjoy:)
Never heard of increasing the height. Same as last one and I never found any issues there. So I’m hoping all should be good 👍
Congrats on your new skandic!! Perfect choice for your application.
I suggest the chainsaw mount, I have it and works extremely well
The adjustable throttle is great but beware when you’re finger throttling, especially in tight spots where a branch can hit your hand or throttle.

I thought it was a 'giveaway' ! Lol. She's a beauty Chuck!
Hahahahaha. Maybe if I can get a sponsor!!! lol!!!

Tks Brad
Good review Chuck.
Love it!
Congrats, nice sled!!!!
Love the video, like the seat rack, what is the part number for it?
This is the one I have: www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RCJ6ZZQ/?tag=chuckporterev-20
Thanks Chuck, great information!!
I watched the first minute and got hooked completely. You're very well spoken and its interesting to hear your opinion. Awesome channel 👏.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel.
Love your new snowmobile looks awesome happy sledding
Congrats it looks like a fine machine
My first question was answered pretty quik. Why the tundra over the expedition. Lol. Makes perfect sense for what you use it for. Beautiful machine.
Geez Chuck, solid video
Congrats
Looks good on yeah my friend hope it treats you as well as the last
Awesome video. Fun to watch, the Skandic looks impressive. Very practical the way you set it up. Yes, agree, you don’t need a turbo for what you’re doing. Sometimes less is better.
Thanks so much! I love the skidoo too.
Beautiful snowmachine!! I want one but my budget at the moment is saying; nope. LOL! Perfect machine for what you do.

Beauty I tell ya....thanks for the reminder to clean out the dryer vent.
Hahaha. Good chuckle buddy lol
Nice machine Chuck thanks for all the info.🙂🇨🇦👍
Congratulations on the new snowmobile (or snow scooter as we say in Norway) and especially like the name Scandic as I am a Scanidinavian hehe. Looking forward to more videos from beautiful Canada.
Great to hear from Norway !!!🇳🇴
Great sled! Enjoy!
Hi Chuck just started watching your videos. Love them only after several did I realize that Dale Clements is married to my niece Wendy. I am her mother’s brother. Really enjoying your videos. Thks.
Small world, eh? Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Dale is a tremendous musician. He’s after sending me a couple dozen different tubes now that he’s written specifically for the channel.
Hey Chuck.You are going to have to get bigger wood sleighs.They can tow a pick up full under the right conditions!!
Good stuff./info
I had a dog named Rebel(shelty/shepard) that would ride on my sled approx 2000 miles a season. He loved it.
Gotta love a dog that will along with you. I love to take them with me. They get so excited when they know they’re going.
Beauty machine, enjoy!
Really nice ride , wish we had some snow here in central to extend the season a little.
Nice sled, skidoo, snow machine 😉😉.
Love the look of it. And the ski legs make a lot of sense for rough areas you travel often.
Enjoy and wishing you many trouble free rides.
P.S. one of those compartments will hold some Mmmm treats!!
HahhA. Yes!!! And the glove box even stays above freezing so a bonus there as well.
Dale is the best in the business!
I agree!!
