This is what you need right here. It's a ski doo safari-cheyanne. It wieghs in at a little over 400 pounds so its actually pretty light. It's got the bullet proof rotax 503 fan, plenty of power. 16.5x136" track, pulls great but isnt too bulky, over all chassis is a little wider than a tundra. Only goes about forty (geared llooooowww) but pulls like a tractor. Mines an '89 and was only $1200. It has 1600 miles on it. They made 'em from about '87 to '91. It evolved into the skandic line. Oh and it's manual start with reverse  ;D

I wish I could find one of those. Found a citation with a 250 single lunger in it. It is very light but a short track. Will see this winter how it does.  Steve

my bro. just picked up a 2000  500cc bearcat w/ 1150 miles on it for $1500. things like mint w/ a 20in. track. came from one of his sports from vermont.  looks like it came from the showroom. he came up icefishing with it last winter. went thru over a ft. of slush and powdered snow. stayed right on top. thinks clutched like a tank.
