JohnF Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hey Wally. My dad ran those for years. You are right about dependability. They were tanks! They weren't called Snow Crushers fer nuthin'. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) There were a lot of Moto-skis around here way back then too. A winter trip by the gang into our camp about 15 years ago. Edited October 26, 2009 by Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't know if this pic will upload correctly.. This is my first sled. I got it two years ago free from my aunt. Hardly had any miles on it when I got it. Now it's on the ice every weekend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Probably the most dependable listed so far... My 250 Bravo is so light, my wife could lift it out of a snow bank. They're great little sleds. I worry a bit when I'm draggin the hut, and I hit one of those mile long slush beds. Not quite enough power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry a bit when I'm draggin the hut, and I hit one of those mile long slush beds. Not quite enough power. Move up to a 500 fan venture and put a 1 1/4" track on it. Very reasonably priced sled and just as reliable but you will never run out of power. I ran mine with the trail guys for years, throttle squeezed to the bar for hours on end and not a wimper out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bravo was free If I where to upgrade, it would be to a two up Yamaha of some sort... Venture sounds about right.. An older one though...
