I use to have a 700 srx,,i kinda mis that sled,,it sounded like a indy car..the only issue with it was i could never get it to hook up,even with 196 1.25 studs,weight transfer bars,loose fron limiter straps ,,had the primary clutch sleeve reshaved,,hauck clutch kit..it was a quick sled one it hooked up but out og the hole it would just leave snow plies...

i replace ir with a 05 rx1 which i bought new..i did clutch work on it and exhaust and thats it...i leave my stuff up their and dont have to worrie about trailing it..if you get a group together let me know,would like to meet up..or hell we have all kinds of cheep places to stay around hurley if you need a placew to stay..

That's about the same set up my srx 700 had and it hooked hard! Not to mention I'm pretty much a light weight tipping the scales at 170. I did however make my own stud pattern on with the 1.25's studs which seemed to work killer over any of my other sleds and the basic patterns. Not much of a bump sled but one hell of a lake sleeper!

That's not a problem.

Now I just need to get engines built and back in boat. It sure is nice to have boating friends just in case! Lol

Thats a sweet offer, I really appreciate it! That is a real nice Donzi you have. A buddy at venation just picked a 33 up last season. My Brother inlaw's brother just picked up a "minny me" 22' single step Donzi. It has the same style as yours but just smaller. Its actually a pretty cool boat. Thanks again for the offer..

my clutch came in at 4800 rpm,,if i just caned it it would leaver a pile..about 100 feet out the skis would lift and them i was gone,,,im @ 200 lbs so ?? i only had the center of the track picked and i also did my own pattern..i used the pick chart but never lined the studs up..i was also using fast track 8 mm trail studs..the ice picks would not have lasted where i ride in hurley..beginning of season theit are a few rocks..

it also threw me over the handle bars once..i was rockin around 80 over the whoops and i came up on one that was about 8 foot long and 2 foot deep..i hit the bakes and realized it was too late so i pinned it again and caught the other side of the whoop and let off it just as i hit it and when it threw me i grabbed a hand full of throttle and the damm thing threw me over the bars and on to the hood then almost ran me over...my buddy behind me did the same thing on his polaris but he broke some stuff on his suspension..
