Rod Caster Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I thought you has a skandic only? Did you sell it and then buy the tundra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I thought you has a skandic only? Did you sell it and then buy the tundra? Yes, I sold the Skandic last January and bought the Tundra. Only paid $400 for it. Skandic was too big for Alex. I also bought a tiny little Dave Genz Fish Trap Lite. Single person flip over hut. It will be good for exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanD Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 This is my current ice fishing affair. 1998 Skidoo Touring 500 with a total of 2,150 miles on it so far. A very dependable sled.. so much so I tried to buy it's twin a week or so ago from someone over by Bailieboro, but it was sold before I could get there. Hey I just bought this exact same machine yesterday. It has 9,400 Klm showing on the clock; what maintenance do you suggest? Compression is approx 135psi in both cylinders. Seems to run good, as far as I can tell here in the shop; there's no snow anywhere close by too put it under load. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 its good to know that my 500ss can still shake it with an 800. Best pass on the SS was 108 The thing goes 95 through powder any day. Id love to ride the newer Rev XP's though when they shaved an additional hundred pounds off the machine.

If you're 500ss is the same as my buds 500ss which I believe was the old 600 carb motor put in the rev chassis you'd be lucky to hit 95mph on radar.... Who needs to go that fast anyways.... Back to the 550 polaris motor yup cooling was the issue there. Not sure what I was thinking about Just don't ride one through 2 feet of powder with 2 guys on one and I'm sure there fine...Right Bill. Best deal of this thread is still chads tundra for 125 though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 tone z71 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) When I was 9 ..my 20 merc did 70 mph ..at least it felt that way lol....any tundra or bravo for less than 6 Bills is a great deal ..some guys want close to what they were worth on the showroom floor back in 88 Edited November 27, 2014 by North East Shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 one off pass tail wind perfect conditions, it never happened again, although yes ive never ran it through radar, however how many people actually have? and the engine is a 597 cc so ya the speedo is probably off but wouldnt everyones be?

2 tone z71 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 If your close to North Bay in the winter every weekend Double D radar/racing has events ..pay the 20 bucks take your runs on a shaved track ..your numbers will soon take a reality check..takes a lot of hp to actually break a true 100 mph..lots of mass and moving parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 tone z71 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 The 500 ss is the old 600 motor nothing special ..they did it for insurance purposes as 500 cc is the breaking point ..with reeds ..some clutching they wake up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyangler Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Got mine up to just under 90mph, , it was climbing still when I eased off as I was running out of lake.

DRIFTER_016 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 170 KMs on a hard packed lake is pretty scary but 120 in waist deep power is pretty relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12footspringbok Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wound out the old indy trail to 73.5mph on gps last year I thought that was pretty good for the old girl. Never wound out my xc 700 but it would make it to 90mph on the speedo pretty fast. Just crept past my brothers '98 XCR 440 on my '95 XLT special freshly rebuilt bored 40 thou over. Speedo said 103, but I'd put it closer to 93. Aaah love the old sled memories.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) 170 KMs on a hard packed lake is pretty scary but 120 in waist deep power is pretty relaxing. yeah sounds like it lol. first time I went trail riding with my pops was crazy. I got left way behind in our groups. I was thinking how the heck do these guys make these turns that fast??? after i got more comfortable it was just pure fun though! travel like 300 klicks just to get a few beers and a meal haha when we fish sawbill its awesome. throttle up and were on the spot in 4 minutes or so, wicked fun! i dont even know what kind of sleds he has other then there ski doo. I think one is a 800 MXZ the other is 1200? Edited November 27, 2014 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
