A friend of mine has a 9 year old daughter who has grown up through the sledding life. She will ride 2-up with her mom on an M7 162 and when we pull over for lunch the little girl will go tour around in the parks on the M7 just fine, but lets all agree a 9year old 100lb child shouldn't have a snowmobile that big.
So in a drunken brain storm we came up with this idea: What if we put a 570 fan in a M 141" chassis? (I understand the 570 is a rear intake/front exhaust and will need its own motor mounts fabricated and the hood might be an issue with the pipe.)
But look at it this way, all the coolant lines and exchangers can be stripped (60-80lbs off) and the 570 motor is lighter than a 600L/C (15lbs) and assuming I build a mesh hood for her (minus 20lbs+, and will help aton with the cooling). Plus whatever else we can lighten in the process.
All in all the reliable M chassis is going to be down in the 330-350lb range with a solid 72hp 570cc and a 141"X15"X1.5" track
Thoughts???
