……..
That's a tough question. Boost will obviously make it easier to get up stuff than the 9R. 14 mph track speed difference is what Chris says they are making and that's huge. That being said, I still love a good challenge so I'm sticking it out with the 9R for the whole trip. They offered me to switch to a Boost but I passed.
Any chance you know what has been done to Chris’s personal boost sled?

It runs super clean.

Watched the other couple of vids. Look great, lots of near misses lol. Women are really closing the gap on riding sleds these days!

I rode his Ultra lite sled today. It absolutely rips. Huge difference from the sled I was riding. It was classic, I almost wrecked it in the trees. Chris might not be ever letting me ride his sleds again ?

So the lag ridden boat anchor wasn’t a lag ridden boat anchor?

Nice video. The first one. I can see the gauge all the way up and hear you in and out of the throttle until you hit that last top pull and then at the top you are in and out a little. Looks like 8200-8400 until the last little bit at the top but you feathered the throttle a bit there too. If that’s over 10,000 seems impressive. But that sled is only pulling 135lb jockey lol. Put a man on it and it might be different. When you poach tracks its just like when you hit off the womens tees golfing.
Also watching the vids it didn’t look super deep is there a reason you started poaching all the way at the bottom? Did you just want to make sure you made it and not risk your own line all the way from the bottom of the top pull? Sled just sounded strong the whole way.
If you weren't the worst snowmobiler I ride with, I would actually care about your opinion. ?

Looks like a carbon fiber skid, plus several other lightweight goodies I can spot. Gotta be a fun sled. Would he tell you what the weight is?

He just got it put together. I think they are going to do a release video on it this weekend stating all the specs.
