I could be picking this up from a dealer for a work trade. It's well maintained, clean, good track, runs well, but 5000 on her. Their asking price is 1300.00. Does that seem reasonable? This would be a freight/fishing sled. Little if any pleasure trail riding. Just get me and my gear plus a passenger (sometimes) to the lake.

CT,

Seems quite high to me but it's your sweat...
In these parts you could get a lot more sled that's at least 2-3 years newer, liquid cooled and lower mileage. I wouldn't give more than $800 if it looked like it just came off the showroom floor. There are regional differences but it still seems high. Sled prices often go up when snow flies however. Good luck.

I agree with Mueske, It does sound too high. I would maybe pay 1,000 for it but not a penny more. Sounds like he doesnt care if he gets rid of it and just wants get a few extra bucks out of it. IMO

Plus I found out that too many miles on a sled isnt a good thing. You may find yourself putting a extra 1,000 into after you buy it b/c stuff wore out or got broke.
Like ex track, clutch, pistons, or suspension. Who knows. Just be careful of what you buy and take care of it.

Yeah, you guys have good points. Only thing I'm leaning on is this sled belonged to an older trapper who took very good care of it and maintained it well. For what I'm looking for in a sled, it's the one. Funny, you can get a couple of year newer crotch rockets for 1300 that have the snot beat out of them but as soon I you talk utility sleds up here, up goes the price.

Chunk All depends how much you're charging per hour. smile.gif Dealers get top buck so you should be too.. 5000 miles is moderately high, maybe you can work out a 30 day warranty.

You may not be planning on trail riding much now but that will change.
A 95 440 Ski-Doo Touring or a Polaris 440 Indy Sport Trail both in long track would be closer to that $1300 price and a huge difference in suspension.

Man, I'm impulsive! Think I'll wait a bit. It's just I ain't got the money but I got the time. Seemed like a good deal for me.

ST, I stay off the trails up here (unless they lead to a lake). Those weekend warriors already almost killed me once on my yami. Got the cracked brain bucket to prove it.

ST and all,

We've got over a foot of snow now. I don't plan on riding until after New Year's Eve or I'd be hitting too many rocks, logs, etc. Ma Nature is just playing with us anyway as we haven't had this much snow for two years. I kinda wish I had the cover on the boat already...

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
