You are correct, he had a triple 700 SRX. He now has the Vector four stroke.

Re: Question on Snowmobile?? for the northernpeople
I used to have a lake racer and it beat me to death. I realized that the lakes are few and far between and the trail and off trail is 99.9% of what I ride. The snow is getting better here. We lost two feet but there is 2 feet left and it is a nice hard base. The UP is getting it now. Go to johndee.com for the best source. Great site. Packin is right, I have the same feelings about this sled and it only has 750 miles. My T-Cat has 10,000....in 3 seasons. 
The Fusion is a good start but expensive and more a prototype for the first year. The REV changed 100% in year two. Go with the REV, it is proven. But get it soon or they will be gone. The dealer here checked all over for the 136" 800HO I wanted.

The 136" renegade rides awsome in rough trails due to the extra length. It climbs hills and runs deep offtrail snow like a much longer tracked mountain sled and RER back up gear is the best there is on the market. Whack 162 studs in one and the acceleration on a hard pack will put butterflies in your belly too 
P.S. Hey Mitch, hows the snow in MI?

Save your money. Buy an airline ticket south, book a nice hotel, and remember how much fun summer is!
