So im sure some with think this is dumb to do but on my 2015 Summit x t3 my seat measures 18" long of room to sit on.
I plan of taking my girlfriend on a few ride(bad idea already, i know). I found the stock seat off a 2008 summit xp. back
then the seats measure 32" from the front(touching tank) to back(foam tip). This would give alot more room for her to sit.
My question to you Ski-doo wizards is will that 2008 seat work on my 2015 T3?

You don't need a longer seat.
It will be easier and safer for her to sit up front and you "driving the sled" standing behind her. (I'm sure she's used to this kind of thing by now)
It will be much easier for you to operate the sled standing. Just make sure she is wearing a full face and stays neutral on the sled.

but should you want to, yes an XP seat will work on a XM. If you want a cheap one check the classifieds.

Make sure she doesn't hit the kill switch with her face. Yes it will happen lol

Or lean against the throttle! I always turn my throttle up a bit more. Watch for left turns . Sometimes I will put my index finger between the bar an throttle so it can't be bumped to WOT

Skidoo also makes a seat for two up riding. That doesn't have the talll back. Gives her a place to sit. I don't like my wife sitting in front of me, to much of a chance to tag a hidden gem. Rather have her weight hit me into the handle bars then vice versa. Unless your old lady's bigger than you haha. Would be handy for the sticks I guess though. Good luck
