Stay away from the skandics, especially in your price range. Trust me on this. That transmission is a ticking time bomb. And God help you if you get that thing stuck.Mid 90s indy 500.The poo 488 and doo 503/550 engines are bomber. 15,000 miles on a top end is not unheard of.
Check out the thread I posted. Atv vs snowmobile. Was in the same boat as you but I was considering and atv too. I may end up spending more though. Lots of good info
Had a 1995 ski doo formula z 583 bored .30 over wiesco high compression pistons and worked great for ice fishing and trail riding. Had zero issues with it and i only paid $550 for it.The 583's are pretty much bullet proof and have a lot of power to rip through the slush. This year i restored a 1998 ski doo mxz 670 that i will be using. Eventually ill buy a air cooled sled just for ice fishing, I love my ski doos
Mid to late 90's Polaris indy 500 Touring is a bomb proof sled. I picked up a 1998 Polaris Indy 500 Touring 2-up 5 years ago with only 2800 miles on it for $1700.00 off Craigslist. I have 7200 miles on it now and its still as strong and soild as the day I bought it.
I'd be looking into a jetski
I'm also in the market for a sled. I've found a few on craigslist but I really dont know up from down when it comes to these machines or really anything mechanical.Need opinions on the following:1995 Polaris Indy Special 600 XLT, fox shocks all around, ripsaw track (no studs) ~3200 miles $8952000 Skidoo Formula Z 700 ~2500 miles, lever reverse, no electric start, studded track $12002001 Skidoo Formula Deluxe 600 ~2500 miles, electric start, lever reverse, studded track $12002002 Polaris 600 XC SP ~1100 miles, not many details posted but has a studded track, looks brand new in the pics $1900I'd get the 1995 indy if it had a studded track but around here we don't always have a ton of snow so I feel like studs are necessary. No clue how much a new studded track would cost
