Looking for suggestions on what running board inserts to use for both added strenght and snow evacuation. Looking for a pair that really stiffens up the fairly weak tunnel. The sled is a 2006 summit 151. Pics would be great on what everybody is using.
Thanks

I've been doing a bit of research myself, and concluded that I want to go with better boards. http://www.snowmobilebetterboards.com/ski-doo-rev-longtrack-better-boards.html

I'm going to get the clear coated ones.

I just installed Better-boards on my '04 Summit X.
It took a little bit of work, but it really stiffened it up.
The foot well area were extra work. I cut the very end off the board, as well as drilling a few dimples into the underside of it to fit over the rivets for the steel reinforcement (which I didn't want to remove fully). I'm really happy how well they fit, and how stiff it is now.

WRP's do both, great snow evacuation, great traction and the mountain scene on the side really stiffen up the tunnel. I have them on my RMK and can't believe how much they stiffen things up.
