My sled i just bought
« on: Nov 28, 2009, 05:28 PM »
Well here it is the sled i am buying. It is called ol yeller not to sure of the year but think around 84ish can anyone tell me different. Anyway as you can see it needs a new seat or at least needs to get some sewing done.

Here it is










Needs a paint job but the windshiled is good and it runs good. It is a 463 motor and well it is quick enough for me will get me where i need to go.  Anyway should have her hoe soon so i can get it cleaned up and painted and darken the windshild on it and then i should be pretty well ready to go.

Looks like a 1987 Skidoo Saffari 377 cc.  I used to own a 1986. spruce her up and she'll look great.

Hey olrik, What you have there is a 1985 or 1986 Formula MX liquid cooled. I bought one new in 86 and still have it. Pretty quick sled in its day.

Come to find out it is na 85. Had it out for a rip the other day and it still is pretty quick. Starts on the first pull. So now all i need is to get the insure on it and the owenrship and then the ice and we are good to go.
