Is it worth the upgrade to send a cherry 2016 limited down the road and throw a bunch of cash to purchase a 2018 Mountain cat? I already have the narrow ski stance, the 3" PC track and decent factory shocks on my 16. TIA for your opinions
Worth the upgrade from a 2016

I would say the changes from 2016 to 2018 are well worth the upgrade.......
The only reason I didn't upgrade is my 16 is already Mountain cat converted and turboed. I didn't want to mess with a new model sled with a turbo and I wasn't willing to give up the boost yet. Although, in test rides the 18 was very close to the fun factor of my pump gas turbo. If I had a mostly stock 16 I would have upgraded without question. And there's still a chance if I got the right offer on my 16 I would have an 18 stocker in a heartbeat. You are gaining a lot from a stock 16.
I rode an 18 153 my last trip out west in the spring. Spent about 20 minutes on it and decided it was time for the 16 LTD 153 to go down the road. Kinda hated to see it go as it was so much better than my 13 but the 18 was that much better again. Other than having to spend what they want to trade I don't think you'll regret it .
Was that Craig's sled that you rode? What specifically did you think was better on the 18? Maybe the things it does better is beyond my capabilities anyway. Like if you can do hopovers better or cornice drops, I probably don't need that. If it's better at not getting stuck or the tree magnet is not as strong or it stays upright better then I could use help in those categories

LOL. That's pretty funny. I think we've all been there. I don't think the 18 is what you need. Just keep riding, it'll get better on whatever chassis you have. I used to like to ride the same chassis for 4 to 5 years because I was used to it. With each new chassis or brand it takes a bit to learn it's characteristics. But there all fun to ride. :face-icon-small-ton
LOL. I'm slightly better than that. I'm handicapped from a snowmobile accident and so my mind knows where I need to go and how to get there but my hooves don't always get where they need to be in time. The fewer times I get stuck the more I'm likely to get invited back on the next trip

Worth the upgrade without a doubt. Way easier to ride requiring much less rider input which is a huge benefit to riders of any caliper. IMO. Not to mention the new motor! :face-icon-small-ton

It was one of Krajicek's sleds, a green/grey ER. Motor felt stronger, clutching was better, felt much narrower and got up on the snow way better. Way easier to get it to do what you want it to do and less tiring to ride. Too old to do hopovers and cornice drops but this makes the back country riding more fun and easier to get around.:face-icon-small-win
I see people ask this all the time, doesn't matter what brand you have. Just comes down to money, is the price difference easy for you to swallow for what your getting in upgrades. We all come from difference economic backgrounds, to some guys 5 grand means a lot than others.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you.... do you think it's worth it to buy the new one? :face-icon-small-ton
:face-icon-small-ton
The new motor and clutches are excellent!
The new hood and cowl is much nicer too. Better leg room and super easy to take on and off.

Cancer last year, lost a kidney blah blah blah back on track now:face-icon-small-coo
Wait till next year and buy a 18 holdover for 4-5k less. Cause next year the 19's will be so much better the 18's will be garbage, so why pay thousands more for garbage
