I had a 98 340 panther that I used for the same thing. The only difference ishe panther is a long track. It was a good sled. I think it will more than do the job for you.

340 works great   I used to run a 377 for a few years  then went bigger 600 (tooo big and heavy) but only cause it had electric start and reverse

A 340 would be fine for what you are doing. I have a 76 polaris 340 and it gets me going around 40mph. I weigh a shade over 200 pounds.
Tight lines and safe fishing.

I had a panther 2-up 340 and had no problems.  It worked great and I am a big guy too.

340 should do the trick just fine.  I had a '74 El tigre for a long time and it great.  Not too heavy either.

I`d ride an Artic cat KittyCat, if it would pull my gearsled and shack! You`ll be grinnin`! Even if it only goes 20, its faster and easier than huffin` it.

340 has plenty of power!

My brother and I used to pull our stuff around with a one lung Sachs.
