They do all my work and I bought the 2010 TNT from them. Their service, turn-around time and prices on gear are awesome. Never had the chance to ride with them though.

I'm Facebook friends with "Land N Sea Marine." Last week they posted this pic of 2 new Cat 800 Sno Pro's on their floor. Might go see how they fit me on Saturday

I guess some of you haven't gotten tired of doing a tune up by ordering two spark plugs, two pistons, two jusgs and a crank from Doo yet huh?

I have ridden Doo exclusively since 78 when I replaced my merc Twister with a Blizzard and I gotta say, getting sick and tired of low mileage motor failures.

Ever since the series 3's came into being, its been downhill for Doo 800's.
My 700 blew up twice in under 5000 miles, first 800 lasted 2300, then 4500, next 800 exploded at 3400 and again at 5500. Current 800 has gone boom 4 times.
I was going to but an E tech but after seeing 3 of four my buddies bought last year fail under 3000 miles, I threw in the towel and ordered a Poo. The season is too dam short to always be rebuilding or worse, waiting on parts to rebuild Doos.

Over the last 25 years my family has had about 10 Polaris', 4 Yamaha's, 3 Ski Doo's and 4 Arctic Cats. Never had a motor fail in any of them(I'm knocking on wood right now). We don't typically ride like A-holes either though.

The worst thing that happenned was the rings started to go on my wifes '04 600 SDI. $300 and good as new...

They all break, but I guess some more than otehrs. My friends that have E-techs have had no issues, but I know many others have. Huge Time's brother works at teh local Polaris dealership and he said those 800 Rush's broke all the time last year. That sled is on my short list even after hearing that.

I am a long time doo guy although I now have 2 Yammi's and a cat in the garage and I have to say I have had great luck with Doo until my last 2 sleds an 08 800 and the 2011. I am hoping to have my faith restored because I still feel they have the handiling down better then the other guys....although I think Poo and Cat may have caught up this year. Time will tell. I love how how they keep pushing the envelope and making the sleds better!
