What kind of riding does your bro doo? You can obviously get a a lot of sled for $6900....just make sure it fits how he rides. The GLX is more of a luxury touring sled. It's not going to be set up for hard/fast trail/bump riding.... or ditch banging...as say and MXZ. If he is looking to sit back and enjoy a nice comfortable ride.....then it would be a good sled.

First things first I would assume he is looking at a GTX? I don't know of a GLX in the Skidoo lineup now that I think about it. If so the suspension on that sled is meant for a nice soft ride, and it not meant to ride fast and hard through rougher terrain. It has an air ride suspension in the rear, which most sleds do not have and it's for the soft cushioned ride. Riding in ditches would be fine....but if he is flying over driveways and blasting over drifts at all then the sled may not be the best option for him.

You can find MXZ's out there for a bargain.....either slightly used or a hold over similar to what you describe he looking at. If he is just going to sit down and enjoy the ride with his kids on the back then this sled would be fine, otherwise look into an XP chassis MXZ or maybe even a Renegade (that gets my vote). Also, I think the GSX is set up a little more suspension wise than the GTX.

He decided on that sled and went to the dealer filled out the paperwork and he was going to take it for a test drive at the dealer and it wouldn't start. They repalced the battery and it turned over but no start. In fact no gas smell. They hooked it up to the computer and it said the fuel pump was bad.

They ordered a new fuel pump.

Does this happen? Or is it an omen and he should switch out of that sled?

Thoughts?

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
