Good calls on the Yamahas. I did not think of them as I assumed as with sleds it was all four stroke. I will go to the dealer in town and check out prices forsure. Very impressed with what I have seen in the past so they should be a great engine.

Want to change water pump in Travel Trailer. Looking at a quiet one and adding a pressure tank. I think the sure flow are good, anyone using them?

Looking at a 150 horse motor for my 18 ft Skeeter Fish and Ski. Looking for opinions on which is better the Evinrude E-tec or the Merc Optimax. Seems like the Merc would be 2- 3K cheaper.

Now for the pics.....

1981 Skidoo Citation 4500 and a 1973 Yamaha GS 300. Very fun to ride.

The high strength solvents can be an issue then if I anodize the engine mount. Just have to make sure the AME does not spray the entire engine on annual inspection.

I want to do an aircraft engine mount. Its 4130-N steel tubing. Which is my best bet? Least weight as possible with best durability would be nice.

The grooming done from the begining of the season is what helps keep the trail long after it starts to melt. Think of it as paying for past work done that is helping you ride the snow that is packed there instead of just straight mud. Every bit of money that they can collect also goes into...

What are the differences with Powder coating or anodizing? Is it just the types of metal they work better on?

Excellent info, thanks!! This ride has been long overdue.

Oh I see it in a post below...how about stagging, whats happening there.

Havent been up in a while and will be heading to Renshaw in a week or so. Whats the trail pass pricing this year? Im guessing with all the snow, unloading is at the regular staging areas, or is there a possibility of that changing quickly? Any information is appreciated

A buddy fit one to his wing strut on his Husky Aviat airplane. He does lots of winter flying on skis. You can see it get pellted hard with snow and ice on take off and it never skips a beat. Great footage from them. Definately built strong.

They have some nice knee vents for also. I can see those helping alot also.

Looking at the Holtz kit. Any real advantage over the SLP vents?
