- Buying Snowmobiles I've ALWAYS Wanted !! (and First Rides). I've looked for these specific snowmobiles on marketplace and craigslist for years now, trying to find a good deal on them, and managed to buy them both from the same person!
1971 Ski Doo Elan and 1979 Yamaha Enticer 340 !
Which was the better deal??
What was the better deal?? What sled should I buy next?? Drop it down below and I'll take all into consideration while I hunt facebook marketplace and craigslist.
Also, hit the like or dislike button so these videos can be pushed more and I can buy more sleds. Lol
And as always find the Sasquatch and win some Ride More merch. :)
You should get a Yamaha bravo
I honestly think the enticer
@@daniel_xxdannyxx7344 We have an old clapped out one, but looking for a better condition!
@@DeerHunterDanOfficial For the long haul? Lol
Glad you posted and good riding with your new snow
I wouldn’t be able to sit on an Enticer without yelling “just gonna send it!”
My neighbor growing up had a little Elan. Absolutely bulletproof and it would go anywhere. Didn’t get anywhere fast but it always got there.
I can definitely feel my mullet growing quicker every time I sit on the Enticer...
Please do a north to south expedition! Just please consider a meet and great along your way there’s a couple diners along the trail up here in Franklin County! I’d be safe to say alot of people would enjoy a group ride with you as well bud!! Still can’t get over your a fellow green mountain state boy!! 802 for life
The elan was a steal at 250. Actually both great buys. In Wisconsin those sleds would go for 800-1000 easy.
I thought so! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
DUDE this is sick these are legit nl sleds no kiddin, all you need now is a bravo or enticer 2
Thanks man! Yeah, I'm pumped for these!
Never owned a Bravo, but have wanted one for ever. I just picked up a little Yamaha Inviter to satisfy my one-lunger desires. That thing is a hoot to ride. It looks so tiny next to my Indy, but I love it just as much. Would still love to pick up an Enticer or Bravo one day. If nothing else, just to have a fanner in my stable.
I remember back when i was young, my dad had an enticer 340 deluxe. We went everywhere on that thing, and loved it. Then we moved to the sunny south where you get enough snow to ride maybe once every 3 or 4 years barely. Since then my dad buys and restores old yamaha sleds. I have a bravo 250, and would get something better if we actually got some more snow. My dad still has his 340, and a few more. He loves his Vmax. Just wish we had more snow. Love your videos, and I keep looking at my wife with those sad eyes wanting to go riding so bad. This video gave me some great memories. Thanks!!
Those Enticers were such great trail breakers. I remember having one as a kid to learn on and it would go anywhere. In one word, tank.
i had a 1981 enticer which i bought ib 1984 with 4 tanks of gas through it only !! It was like brand new !! Very fun sled!! i also has a 1982 enticer 300 also bought as a year old ..they were great sleds and never gave me any problems !! You will certainly enjoy that sled !! you scored son!!!
I like the comment, that’s what you get being a neighbor of mine… if all neighbors were like you, it would be a great place to live. Keep doing what you’re doing bro!!
Haha Thank you!
That's a fact! I would LOVE to be surrounded by neighbors who love snowmobiles. Most of my current neighbors have little to no use for outside winter activities. As for me? Can't keep me inside when there is good snow on the ground. Trails will be opening this afternoon, and I plan on being out there all day. :)
600$ for the et340, here in norway we just sell the hood for 500$, one in that conditione would have been 2000$ over here or more. Thar was a f-inng steal buddy👌👏
What a score! $250 for the elan was a steal. I've had a couple in my life, nice little sleds.
Growing up as a kid a neighbor had an enticer of that vintage. I think it was that machine that got me hooked on sledding
You should find a local vintage ride and join. So much fun with local vintage sked enthusiasts. 72' Panther 440.
There is one coming up soon actually! I might attend!
Yes please do that 4 day trip on the old one
my first sled was an ol olympic one lunger..my father had an alpine..twin track one ski..that thing would pull your truck out of a ditch..a real work horse
we chased them little elans all over..quick and light for the day..
thanks for the memories..good days
Awesome to hear that! I'm really excited about both of these machines!
Seeing alot of your videos lately. It really makes me miss when southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 use to get real winters to enjoy snowmobiling. We are Lucky to get 2 weeks you have enough snow to go out. when I see Facebook Market place flooded with dirt cheap sleds from 70s to mid 2000s most likely super low hour machines that would be easy projects. 😢 love your videos keep em coming .
heck yes to the snowmobile trip
I'm liking the idea!
Hell yeah brother we definitely want to go on that snowmobile adventure with you!!!let's see it
Watching this as the snow turns to rain where I'm at unfortunately. Really hoping we get some cold so the snow will stay or we're not going to be sledding at all this year
That'd be an awesome video to watch that long trip
I like the idea! We'll see if enough people agree!
@@JeremyRhydes Count me in on the "agree" side.
M and my brother got two enticers running two years ago when I was 10 and they never miss a beat great machines.
Had the same Enticer growing up. Man that thing was fast for a 90 pound kid then I had 1 in my 20s but the 440 same year both were 1981. Wish I held on to it. Would love to find another clean 440 in the late 70s or early 80s I think they are a good looking sled but most arguing that fact.
I agree about the Enticer being a good looking ride. I always loved that look. Those 340's (338cc) are some rippin little engines. I had an SL433 (on an SL338 frame) back in the days, and that thing was a blast to ride.
These days I ride a '95 Indy440, and just picked up a little 1988 Yamaha Inviter. Love both of them, but would like to add an Enticer to the "stable" some day.
What a score! Both are great sleds
Great score 👍 My neighbors didn't like me growing up LoL 😜 looks like good times nothing like those old sled's.
Your enjoyment is contageous, Jeremy!
Sweet! I had that same 340 Enticer back in the 80’s. My Uncle actually named the Enticer and the Exciter. He was the Sr. VP of Yamaha Motors USA back in the 70’s and 80’s. That sled was so fun!
Woah! This is wild! Are you for real?
@@JeremyRhydes Yes, he was the only non Japanese on the Board of Directors.😁
KEEP DROPPING BANGERS!!!!!! these videos are the best for learning especially seeing different motors and models. Your the best
Thank you!! As long as people keep watching, I'll keep uploading! Lol
The old sleds are the simplest and fun to work on. Enjoy your videos. I think I see the sasquatch around the 17:07 mark set way back in the background.
I bought a 1978 enticer, 250 brand new. Paid $1100 for out the showroom. I really wanna get another one I love that little sled.
Damn! That's awesome! You still have it??
@@JeremyRhydes I gave it to a couple kids about 15 years ago. Free, but I want another one.
been a while since ive watched. moved from the uk. now living in Australia.. love what ya do.
What a great pair of sleds.
I thought so! I had to buy them. Lol
Brent Gallagher here Toledo Ohio we get no more snow here. My first sled was a blue and silver Yamaha enticer 340. Ended getting stupid buying every sled I could get after that. But the last sled I had was a Yamaha SS 440 that was my favorite one out of all. Not much for a jumper or ruff trail sled it sat real low. But that sled was stupid fast after a few cheap mods. That's what you need next you will love it.
You know you are getting old when you remember the Skidoo TNT 440 was THE hot sled to own !!
I too love Enticers! Just great fun sleds.
awesome,grew up on exact sled but mine was a deluxe,and also had a 78 elan deluxe,good memories
My neighbors love me too lol😂love your videos
Sounds like they need sleds too then! Lol Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
That elan is sick . What a great project sled. Got to do a restoration for sure.
I like the idea too!
Dude! We finally got snow! I was plowing on my quad all day and could hear theBRAAAAAAPPPPPPP🏁🇺🇲 getting warm, some food, and some Jeremy dudes. PS where the hell is Mike-long time sub from Mich
That is an awesome idea to ride the sleds from side to sides of the state. But they might be a gas hog
Lol Yeah, I'd have to figure out a good gas situation, but I think it would make it all the more memorable!
You bought a ELAN!! I have 4 of them in my collection, the 440 since 1984. I'm a sucker for vintage sleds! Started on a skiroule in 1977. That yamaha sounds nice, good running machine! Thank you for another great video.
Good deal on the Elan.
I'm so hype, I'm gonna buy an et250 soon. It's been sitting for like 12 years but I believe it'll fire up
Im not gonna lie, its so nice seeing other people driving the old Yamaha. It brings back really good memories from many years ago. My dad had a red one. And i did borrow it sometimes in our cottage we had back then and it was my first snowmobile that i did drive.
Lots of good snow but it did get stuck sometimes in the snow but it was an amazing snowmobile
Keep up the goos work!
Thank you!! So far, I love it!
Killer deal on 2 awesome sleds! I'm in northern MN and our used sled prices are pretty silly, covid wrecked a lot of brains haha
Prices got out of whack here on the East coast too, but there are still some reasonable people out there! Lol
Those Enticers were solid machines. My buddy had one, hit a pole, used a tree to straighten it out and kept riding!
The E Lan as it’s pronounced, is deserving of restoration, and the enticer is a sweet sled. My oldest brother had a 340 enticer and it was a blast to ride, but not as fun as my other brothers 440 exciter
I love that little Enticer! Great find Jeremy and nice vid 👍🍻
Love that old ET340. My friend when I was a kid had one in that colour but it was a 250. Those were quality Yamaha's, for sure!
Great video, but you should raise the camera a little so we can see more of where you are going. Keep them coming! Oh, you are probably entertainment for your neighbors. I heard you talking with the people you bought the sleds from and I am from Western Pennsylvania, and would love to come to Vermont and ride with you. Would like to meet and ride with Mike too!
Jeremy love the snowmobile content thank you
We want and need a adventure across Vermont!
Enticer sounds like it runs good.
nice thing about bogey wheel sleds like the elan is that running them with no snow doesn't hurt them. Just keep them off pavement and gravel
Hay that’s my old enticer and elan and the video turned out great
It’s an Elan, built by Bombardier with a Rotax engine. I grew up with one of these
Awesome find
Hey I live in Vermont and where I live we got almost 2 feet of powder and I was ripping around my 94 artic cat jag 440 it’s its fun ripping up and down my road before they come plow lol love to old sleds
The Bear Notch vintage snowmobile ride in New Hampshire is this Sunday you should bring them down.
Make that trip!
Great video man! Need more snow in Michigan tip of the mit is bare lol
I have an Elan! It's fairly new, 1995. They are absolutely great machines. I use it for work and fun. Another great video. Thanks man!!
Nice! One of the later models! Very cool!
The Yamaha Enticer is Sweet!
Upstate Ny getting snow as we speak I’m so hype
My parents are having a snowmobile rally in New York if you would be interested in attending. Will also be a big ride that day. It’s in February 24. Also be a basket rafel for a moto ski
I use to have a 1971 Eiland and I miss that old thang grate find tho bud
Thank you Brandon! I appreciate the support!
Make a lot more videos bud!!😂 please!! We all love them!
My friend, that is like scoring a Mustang and a Charger. You got gold in your hands.
Would love to see videos of a full on trip with the old girl... I've done from Rindge NH to Littleton NH (150 or so miles) on a 1980 Kawasaki Drifter 440, it beat the shit out of me but that vintage rip is one of the most memorable rides I've done.
That is an awesome trip! Sounds like a great experience! If enough people want to see the Elan trip, I'll do it for sure.
@@JeremyRhydes It was a epic ride, during the season of 16 when we were getting a foot every week, hitting all the warming huts and snack shacks on the way. People couldn't believe it when we would tell them what we were doing, my riding buddy was on a 79 Blizzard. The biggest issue was the lack of range, those old rigs are not to fuel friendly lol. Would love to do it again if we ever start having winters again...
Two great sleds you got there I had the Yamaha is great on gas and dependable
I agree!
Awesome video keep up the good work job happy new year
Not bad.
Try a skiido touring 500 sle (fan cool)
An a polaris 550 touring classic
Spin off
Those are on the list!
Elan is one of my faves, so many memories with Papa going out to the hut😊
Edit: we are getting on dumped on right now, expecting 2+ft this weekend🤙
A good memory making sled for sure! Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel!
Nice video i just got my ockelbo 300 runnning today
Definitely wouldn’t mind Seeing an enticer build lol new track couple extra horsies lol also I can never find that damn Sasquatch
We love Jeremy ! Our favorite snowmobile UA-camr !
Thank you very much! I love all you!
Let’s see you and Valhalla on an epic 70’s sled on a cross state trip
Good deal on those sleds! I think a Ski Doo Alpine would be cool to see on the channel. Keep up the great vids!
I'll add it to the list! I think those are pretty rare? I don't see them turn up very often. Thanks for watching and supporting!
I HAD A BLACK N GOLD 1980 EXCITER 440 THAT LOOKED SIMILAR IT WAS CRAZY FAST WOULD LIFT THE SKIS DID 80 TO 85 MPH BACK THEN IF THE SPEEDO WAS ACCURATE ,, ON HARD PACKED SNOW GOOD OLD YAMAHAS
Thanks for the video! Glad you got some snow! How about finding an old Evinrude Skeeter. My neighbor had one in the 70’s that had reverse. I think you could have fit 4 people on it!
@JeremyRyhdes my old man used to haul a ‘74 TL433 and a GPX 340 np. He’d throw the tracks over each bedside so they sat sideways. Didnt stick out much bc of the angle it worked great
Hell ya wicked video!
I had a sled like that yellow one and it didnt have the plastic cover by the bars, well one day it leaked gas some where and shot a huge flame towards me lol, it was a close one
Nice finds Jeremy. Really can't beat that price
Right! I thought so! Thanks for watching and supporting!
Hell yes!! I will definitely watch those vids. I understand that you have a full time job bud, but if you do more vids and not #shorts I think you might make that hundred K!! Just my opinion. Love the vids bud!!!
I want a pair of leaf springs sleds pretty bad.
I think the enticer for long trip but the elan mmm those carbs not alot of power get stuck but go for it great vid!!!
I think the Elan would be more legendary for that reason. Haha!
I am so jealous we have 2 inches of snow and the big storm supposed to drop 11 inches missed us
You need a Yamaha redhead triple in the fleet! Ultra reliable and sound so cool.
I had one years ago! Love them! Actually just revived one for someone! Legendary machines!
I finally got like 7 inches of snow I. Wisconsin hopefully it doesn’t melt it’s negitive 6
Damn cold! I hope the snow stays for you and you get a chance to ride!
Same here in west Wisconsin...FINALLY! Trails will be opening around here this afternoon. I plan on getting out there while the snow is still here. Cold as... But just gotta dress for it.
You got it right elan
Love the videos. I have 79 Arctic Cat Pantera and it rips
Beauty sled!
You should get a arctic cat puma! I have yet to see one on this channel it would be cool to see one!
Okay! I'll add it to the list!
Ok cool in my opinion the 1997 year is one of the best year to buy but that’s up to you and what you get.
Them enticers are great!!!
So far it's been a blast! Very excited for it!
Wee want camping with Mike!!!! Pleaseeee
Hard to beat the old 12 Elan, run forever especially with a Mikuni carb.
So, just so you know a compression test really doesn’t tell you much about the condition of the cylinder. As long as the rings haven’t seized they will show perfect compression. I have chainsaws that were completely scored up that still show perfect compression and run well
Inteicer awsome video
That Enticer literally looks just like the one I had. Faded tank, and the crumple on the left front. Wonder if it had the red hood before it was fixed. I'm in Hudson valley ny too. Hasn't gone far if it's the same ine haha
I like the elan
Where are you that there's that much snow today
The old enticer's plowing deep snow!
Haha That it is! Can't wait to do some more testing...Lol
