How fast can you go with them on? I am getting a X2 and would like to get some. We have some remote lakes we ice fish and sometimes we are limited by the 4 wheeler when there is some snow. I hate using a snowmobile because it is hard to haul all of our gear. I currently haul my wheeler in the back of my truck so is the width any wider with these or is it the same as a wheel?

I had it up to 50 with at least a 1/3 of the throttle left. It's new so I didn't want to push it and I think that was enough. The tracks are not recommended for the X2 from what I understand. I would like to have a two person atv but the tracks aren't for that. Maybe Dave would know why or call Polaris direct.

I have no idea why Polaris tracks wouldn't be okay on an X2. That doesn't make sense. Also, the Prospector tracks may only be for snow use. I haven't verified that yet.

If like Mattracks, you'll probably lose 20% top speed using tracks due to gear reduction. I cannot fit my Sportsman in the back of my truck with tracks on either.

Your right they are not recommended for the X2 yet. That stinks! Hopefully they come out with them for it. Dave, how are the Mattracks as far as price compared to the Prospectors? Is there a lot of maintainance on them?

Well, Mattracks are probably twice the price (about $5000 for Mattracks) but, they can be used all year long, in any type of terrain. I believe the Prospector kit, as well as the new Bombardier track kit, are recommended for snow use only. Maintenence involves a shot of grease to 6 zerks per track every couple of weeks; depending how many miles you ride and what type of terrain. There's also the track tension that can be adjusted when needed. I haven't looked at the Prospector or BRP kits yet.

So since your used to grease zerks anyhow,and you need the tracks to get through the terrain the other brands are going through with tires,why not just sell that polaris and get a "capable" wheeler?LOL! LOL! wink.gif

      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.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?
