Still looking for a river/field sled but short tracks are a little harder to find even though there isn't a powdery hill within 100 miles.
Seems like 3500 will get you a ZX, Rev, XP or M8 sled in the 154-155". These longer track sleds hold up in the marginal snow ok with the 2"+ paddles?
Are the XP's tougher than the Rev? Been down the bent nun road before when I had one back in the day.
What kind of HP do you want?

Whos paying 3500 for xp's? Couldnt get 1800$ for mine...
If you put matching skis on maybe? Seems reasonable shape XP's are in that range. Dunno.

6-800CC. Still have my old 98 Mach Z LT but it's not really nimble, plus it's mint and makes me cringe when I crash it off the river bank. It's too nice an old sled to get abused.

Matching skis might help for idiots that dont realize the brand new DS3 skis that dont match are 50 times better then the ch!t they came with. But hey they dont match though.

Tards...

I think the 4 stroke phazers are such an underrated backyard/kids sled, but they're only 80hp, so probably not what you're after.
Electric start, factory radiator, engine is good for 30,000km and a front end that can handle 3" trees.

Forsure i had simmons on mine back in 08.


And these ds3's are way better than that.

Who cares i guess if ur goal is to have matching skis.


I guess i could go spend 400$ on a new matching yellow one, and still no one will pay 3500$$$ so no thanks.


Ill just keep it

Simmons were junk too. Hard steering and a flat tail that anchored in any time you tried to reverse.

Best ski going was the Doo skis once they've been crashed into the trees and rocks giving them the permanent curve... lol

Horse shoe shaped skis are best...

You don't even need skis if you ride the track... Ha

Junk junk junk

They stopped darting which the XP and Revs were known for. You could adjust the suspensions to make them work great. Like I said we sold a chit load of them. Was shocked Verlin never left me anything in his will. lol.

Fields and rivers always have a bit of snow you can dip into,or run cable scratchers.
