Man this is the funniest thing I heard all week. I was in beans around Christmas time with the family and the kids were messing with the Christmas ornaments. I told them to stop and went over and looked at a really nice moose ornament. When I set it back it the barrel it crumbled like a tin can, I simply stated rather loudly to my wife "look baby this ones broken"

The sleds at Cabelas are actually for duck/etc. hunting.  They are Viking brand are $59.99 I believe.  I ordered (free shipping to store) the Cabelas sled for $29.99, came in in 5 days.

                   been closed for quite a few years now. Cool

It's no wonder. Ever since Fleury's sold out, every business in that building has been overpriced, with greedy management tactics.

I went to the True Value hardware store in Winthrop and bought my medium sized Otter which is a bit longer than my auger just enough so the powerhead is slightly at an angle on the front slant of the toboggan and it fits enough gear for 2 people plus my Shappel DX3000 bunjeed on top. Was a few $$$ more than the Jetsled of same size but w-a-y better (heavier) built.

I'm thinking of putting a OB motor bracket on it for springtime.. J/K. I bet you really could though with either of the 2 bigger ones available from Otter, even Jetsled's for that matter. I will NOT drill holes in mine ever. Instead, I will mount skis etc, with a frame to the outer 'gunwale'.
