It’s already over? Wow later release than Doo and shorter program. How are people going to procrastinate till the middle of spring? 😂

I'm curious to see how many they sold. If it's anything like the RV dealers around here they are in for a slow year.
A slow year will hurt but might bring stuff back to reality and pre COVID prices...

I orderd a 165 Pro Boost. Said I would never do it as it is too heavy compared to the N/A. What change my mind was the thought of owning both.
Choices are good.
Always ride the N/A on the first day. If you ride the turbo the first day you try and climb stuff you shouldn’t the second day with N/A.

I think that is good advice and then go back to the N/A for spring riding as the new beast will have that 3.25" track and it might not be so fun in set up snow.

Bet everytime the carbon tax goes up the RV sales go down

Interest rates, and prices are insane.

Paid $63k all in for our fifth wheel in June of 2020. Same trailer today in a 2023 is $87k.

Local dealer has a RV big show every February, this year they only sold 14 units at the show. I'm assuming they lost a fair bit of money hauling all the units to the expo center and renting it for the week.

I have a Boost, a 2020 850 with a boondocker turbo and a 9R in my trailer, I rode the 9R 3 to 1 over the turbo sleds mostly due to snow conditions (missed the super deep powder days mostly) as well as avy conditions have been questionable for most of the winter so stayed out of the nose bleed section. The 9R is so lite, nimble and absolutely a blast to ride.

Bought a new unit in 2014, toy hauler 5th... could probably get what I paid for it now. Comparable units now are selling WAAAAY north of $100G...

I have no sympathy for the RV industry... the cost vs build quality is terrible. Some of the larger dealerships have made gobs of money... they need a correction (unfortunately , the regular joes working at these dealerships will take the brunt of the hit)

The folks who bought new sleds and RVs in the last couple years are going to get a resale shock I would imagine. Especially sled with 2 year warranty. I know I ain't buying a used sled for top dollar with no warranty on it. Not sure how long sled loans are for, but I would imagine it's longer than a riden sled will last. Costly repairs on top of a loan payment is going to hurt.

Question for the Polaris owners? What was your incentives for this spring break program? How much warranty they offering?

It’s a little lame Ken.. 3 year on the 850 but 2 only on the boost and 9R. Of course you get to pick your colours with 9R and boost but I don’t think there’s much colour options on any other models. Snowchecks get a gift card for $100 off $500 purchase or $300 off $1000 purchase of accessories or apparel.. There’s a $1500 rebate if your sled does not ship before November 30th. Not deliver, ship, as in leaves factory is my take on it.
Edit: The 3 year warranty is on all snow checks other than boost or 9R, they are two only

I wonder if the manufacturers collide with each other? Skidoo only has a free gear option or 2 yr warranty? Kinda like the shrinkflation that’s going on. Pay more for less. They are pretty much forcing you to buy and sell after one year so that the guy buying your sled gets one year warranty to help the resale on the sale.

Good point and I would not be surprised if they work together to certain point on incentives etc.
