Hey all - getting ready for my second season as a snowmobiler. I bought two last year to use as ski lifts; overall, it was a very good year. Learned a lot, but a lot more to learn. I left the sleds alone last year, beyond maintenance, just to figure a few things out.
The 700 is the "primary" sled; I also bought a 99 670x for a backup. My only complaint about the 700 is simple - floatation/lack thereof.
Current plan is to put a 144x16" track on it (any Denver people have one for sale? PM me/bring it to the show - I'll be packing cash) and possibly wider skis. It trenches too easily as it sits, particularly when towing a skier. Part of that is certainly rider error - I suck at riding this contraption; I put it in the hands of a frequent poster here, let's just say that the sled is WAY more capable than me
. I think the wider track will help.
What's the best ski to get the thing up on top of the snow as quickly as possible? I don't care about groomed performance. I'd like it to handle well in deep snow, but it seems like a wide ski would compliment that.
Powder Plus? A stock Skidoo ski off a Rev/XP/??? I'm guessing that there's some personal preference going on there, but I figured I'd ask here, see what the masses think.
Thanks!
