Nice looking sled. Do you know how long is it from ski tip to rear bumper? Front bumper to rear bumper? I'm trying to figure out if it would fit on a 5x8 foot trailer.


You will have NO problem fitting on an 8' trailer!!! grin.gif

Ski tip to rear bumper is 10'

Front bumper to rear bumper is 8'7"

Width is 44"

It should fit fine on a 5x8 trailer unless the trailer has large sidewalls all around it. I haul it on a 8x8 snowmobile trailer fine.

lots of luck, you're incorrect. wink.gif This machine was manufactured in August 1997, to be exact, with 1998 serial numbers.

Here's an article on the Panther line-up from 1998.

Arctic Cat introduces three Panthers to please

Some things are more fun in pairs, like taking a cruise through the country by snowmobile. And nothing could be more exciting than riding a Panther. For 1998, Arctic Cat has three Panther touring models available -- in sizes that are sure to please. The legendary Panthers are not only stylish and durable, they are also easy on the budget, so you can plan all your snow-covered trips without worrying about how much the sled will cost.

The Panther 550 leads the trio. A 550cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with 80 horsepower is sure to take you anywhere you want to go. The Panther 440 features a fan-cooled 43 1cc engine with 50 horsepower, and the Panther 340 has a 339cc fan-cooled motor with 33 horses. Arctic Cat has built these touring sleds with enough variety that you can pick the model which best suits you.

The 550 is wrapped in Arctic Cat's proven AWS III chassis and double-wishbone front suspension. The Panther 440 and 340 models have Arctic Cat's latest version of front suspension: AWS V. But no matter which version you choose, this industry-leading suspension system has a smooth ride.

All Panthers also feature the revolutionary FasTrack Long Travel Suspension System. FasTrack is the most comfortable suspension system available, and with 13.3 inches of rear travel, you won't have to worry how your back with feel tomorrow. All Panthers also feature a suspension which is adjustable for one rider or two, simply flip the overload springs, and Ryde FX gas shocks lend added bump absorption in the rear.

The Panthers also have new handlebar pads and controls with separate hand and thumb warmer switches. The Panther 550 has wind deflectors for the passenger and standard mirrors. Don't wait any longer to take cruise together, with the new Panther trio from Arctic Cat you can't afford to spend another winter indoors.

Ooooooooooooooooopppppppps!!!!!!!!!

I saw Pantera and Panther on another HSOforum and it all blended together as Pantera. I don't wear glasses and maybe I should consider getting my eyes checked. Or maybe it is all the of the 2 stroke fumes I have inhaled from my past Arctic cats.

I owned two different models from 1998, including the 600 EXT 2-Up Touring and the ZL 500. Enjoyed them both.

Your sled would make an excellent ice fishing machine. especially in low snow conditions, being a fan cooled. This sled is also going to run forever on a tank of gas.

Surprised it has not sold yet, appears to be a great buy, someone is going to get a good deal and a lot of people are going to just miss out on a great little sled!!
