What is the best snowmobile to use

[Giant Midget]

I have been wondering what is the best snowmobile to use. I have been looking at the Polaris 600 Rush.

I can't speak for GM, but I've been toying around with the idea of picking up a sled myself. I've never owned one, but if I did get one I'd primarily be using it for ice fishing. I'm not a speed freak, and was thinking of getting something in the "touring" class. In your estimation would this be the way to go? Also I would like opinions on liquid vs fan cooled for ice fishing. I thought I saw somewhere that running a fan-cooled on bare ice is better. Thanks in advance!

For ice fishing staying in the mid class, long track 2 up 440-600 fan cooled if your pulling a porty works well with less to break down out in the middle of no where. If it's 2 up you can aways bring a buddy or wife along also.

well everyone im sure has their favorites, im not a polaris fan however for pulling an ice house etc i would lean towards a late 80s early 90's polaris trail indy? those were fans i believe. decent sled and should be able to find one reasonable. if you wanted to go old school gotta love the late 60s early 70s ski doos.

You have to be more specific if you want any reasonable answer to your question.

For those looking for a cheaper ice fishing sled etc. you may want to look at something in the late 90s and up as they started putting in higher and much better suspension and for the most part were made better and more reliable.

i am interested in buying a snowmobile for casual use and would like to know which brand or model is the best for use with children?

[FishinFreaks]

Why the preference of fan cooled vs. liquid cooled?

[Walleyehooker]

Liquid cooled machines snow helps to cool them where a fan doesnt need snow
