I think you posted this in the wrong spot. But I have two girls that keep my off season busy with AAA hockey one on the U14 and the other on U16

Most normal people would stay at home in front of the fire place and spend time with the family and save money up for next boating season. Not me though!! Go get you a sled(green only) and get back on the lakes and trails. What part of Mi are u in?

This is a high performance site. No one likes to lose a race on liquid or frozen water. Especially me. Go green or go home. :drink:

I spend extra winter time in the garage tinkering with the boat. It keeps me busy and out of the house. I dont have any winter hobbies or sports. I hate the cold, snow or ice. I cant wait to get the hell out of New York.

Like we say in the car biz "there's a a$$ for every seat". Go head and ride green, I'll stick with the best. :drink: Btw, what company has been number one in sales since 03, its not cat, yammi or poo. I few years doo even held 50% of all market sales.

Just because they are 1 in market share doesn't mean they make the best product.
Baja sells more high performance boats every year than any one else. Does that make them the best? Didn't think so. LOL

Every mfg has their target markets. The high end AC stuff is for the hardcore only,

Lets face it. Just like boats or anything with a motor in it, how fast you go is how much you open up that wallett.

I'm die hard cat because of the way they ride. That lite floating front end that they are famous for is awsome.
I've been on a Mach, been on many a Rev with an open mind and they don't evenbcome close. IMO

You can argue sleds till your red in the face,every sled rider has a preference. I have buddies that drive them revs,they swear nothing rides better, just sitting on one hurts my back with the"rider fwd" position but they are still good sleds-for someone else! I prefer my cats,kept my 01 zr800 and turned it into a awesome machine,Ive spent more on mods then the machine cost new but I have this bad habit of doing that to everything I own.They are all good sleds though,ride what you LIKE,and have fun,just remember there are other people on the trails-and DON"T LET YOUR FRIENDS JUMP FIRE PITS :evilb: ,Smitty

Holy smokes-I was just checking out the D&D website,the new arctic cat f1000 is making 192 hp with D&D's single pipe,a stock silencer and a efi re-map. 216hp with twin pipes,trail porting and a re-map,this thing is going to set the new benchmark,Smitty

I'll let you know what the twin pipes, porting and boondocker are like. Lotta potential in this motor. Where do you ride at Smitty?

Re: what do you do to kill time
 
Did someone say snowmobiling is more fun ?
Oh, that was me. LOL !
Just kidding but it's about 50-50. Nothing can replace it, that's for sure.

Every machine (boat, snowmobile, bike, car (fun car) needs a long rest after a few months of me using it. If I could use anything year round I'd either never get to it or wear it out and have to buy a new one each year.

Pray for snow this year...thanks. :drink:

I stay home, finishing up on the gadgets I thought of last winter and new ones keep popping into my head.. Day job interferes with real productivity!! This winter I will get caught up.. I promise!!

And Yes you can get a DWI in a golf cart.. I have heard of it. Or was it a John Deer cargo hauler?? Have a great winter!!
