I have a Can Am, Outlander Max (2 seat) 1000.
It has epic power and rides like a Caddy.
I added heater grips and windshield/dash. Great in the cold.
Also have Camoplast tracks. The traction is insane. So is the turning effort.... electric power steering goes into overheat shutdown very quickly unless using the lightest assist mode. Really is a bummer.
Also, new to me this year is a Polaris RZR 900 trail..i just added a full enclosed cab and HEAT. Can't wait to use out there.

Just saw 8-12 for wolfeboro with only a 37% chance of getting more than 12... I can live with that.

Wel are good my friend..your nick name is catchy and at times right on...
We will see what happens... no matter what mother nature does, we have no control, it won't slow me down anymore than a nose full of boogers. ..I will fish on regardless. . The season is short,  no time for  pitty parties.

Anyone from anywhere, south of Portland, is a Flatlander.

Gentlemen, I'll spare you the graphics but the latest run of the model says 8-16" for myself any any others on the seacoast and 10-18 in the lakes/mountains. All snow up there. Some sleet mixed in for us in southern NH and the potential for some very very dangerous icing from Mass south through CT.

Congrats PG and Roccus on your new rides!  :thumbsup:
Sounds like they'll both get a good test run if this storm lives up to the predictions.

X2 - Congrats to you both...

Joe - did you finish making all of your modifications on the new ride to make it "fishable"? Hopefully all your work transferred well.

Picking it up in 30 minutes,  this thing needs very little done by me, I'll put my auger and tip up.mount on tonight when I get home, the way I made them, no drilling reqiired, only a 1/2" wrench... same with.my bait tank holder, slips right into the reciever,  I'm not going to chain this one (yet) I ordered 500 studs from woodys  and am going to stud these aggressive tires.. if I have problems I will have to add a few links to my chains. These tires are 1" larger. . This puppy is fishing Saturday.
