The new toy

Congratulations on the new ride! That has got to be one of cleanest looking 95's I have ever seen! It is very rare to see a sled of that age that has a seat that is intact. I have a 95 Polaris RXL 650 efi(xtra 12), and I only wish it were in that good of condition.

I see the previous owner added on a couple of accessories as well (medium flared windshield, 45 degree handlebar hook, running board tread, light shield, and best of all, plastic skis.)

What do you think of the sound of that motor? I have owned a lot of snowmobiles (mostly newer), but nothing compares to the tone of a polaris triple when you crack open the throttle!

It does have an aftermarket can on it, it sounds awsome ideling almost orgasmic at full throttle. And to think I almost didn't buy it due to the miles but caved after I rode it. Hit the key today after being in the cold garage all night in the low teens, flipped the choke bumped it and it was purring.

4500 miles is really not all that bad, if it has been maintained. At least 4500 miles is believable mileage. I guess I am a bit skeptical when I see sleds of that age with 2000 miles or so. I know it is possible to have low mileage, but I know it is also possible for people to roll back odometers. Judging by appearance, I would probably guess the previous owner was more than likely meticulous about maintenance. Cosmetic appearance and maintenance tend to go hand in hand more often than not.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
