Rhino 660


SCUMFROG

Recommended Posts

Ok here is my question. I'm thinking about getting a Rhino 660. Does any one out there have one or know some one that does? I'll be using it to haul wood and stuff, hunt, and of curse play in the mud. I would also like to know what people have done to them to make them faster or better.

Hopefully, you would still have access to some public land after you buy the Rhino. Its not legal on designated ATV trails. Just something to keep in mind.

And, I don't really think you'll need to make the Rhino faster..

I've heard that they are awesome as far as power goes. Not to sure how many if any mods are out yet. You might check with Rocky Cutsforth in Cohasset @ Rox. He has worked with these some.

I've seen one with a cd player in it. Looked cool. I was also thinking of a windsheld, but I've heard that the dust gets trapped behind it and flies around. So I don't think I'll get one of those.

A friend of mine installed ATP wheels and tires on his and loves it. He also put in the grizzly speedo on it and a stereo system. W/ 6x9's and 10 inch subwoofers. almost got it inpounded twice at brainerd suberbike races.

Why are you looking at the rhino?

It's seems like overkill with what you plan on doing with it. I would suggest you do a lot of research and test drive many different models.

I use mine for the same reasons you do and my outlander 400 does a great job, best atv available.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
