I don't know how much extra an actual 2-seater costs compared to a regular 1 man machine, but I bought a rack seat that I mounted on the back rack for a couple hundred bucks, something else to look into if the price difference is much more than that.
I weigh a good 270 lbs and my Bro is prolly in the same ball park. How would a "rack seat" work for big boys?I might need to start another thread...
Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe or Suburban.
The 500 cc Polaris machines have a tug rope. I start mine with the rope for tickles and giggles sometimes.
Its not necesarilly the bigger machines but the newer machines that do NOT come with the backup pull-start rope. Reason being is EFI (electronic fuel injection). Machine wont run if it aint getting fuel...no battery power no fuel no run so an auxillery pull start is pointless.
Battery fears solved by bringing along a jump box on the ice.
Yuppers... that's my plan to bring a portable jump box with me (thought of that one on my own ). I'm 99.99% positive I'll be going with the Can-Am Outlander Max (2-Up) 650 XT package.
