Cheap Snowmobile Challenge
Рет қаралды 42,769
Жыл бұрынDo you REALLY need to spend thousands of dollars on a new snowmobile? How does a $1,000 snowmobile compare to a $20,000 snowmobile?
I bought a 20 year old snowmobile (2003 Polaris RMK 700 151 track) and we're going to truly put it to the test to see where you can actually go on a cheap snowmobile vs an expensive snowmobile. Snowmachining doesn't get any more fun than this!

MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT @1puglife (the DIY jumping video clips in this video)... the "Awww Dick" sticker I made for my cheap beater sled is inspired by his crazy videos on his KZfaq channel.
Also MASSIVE shout out to Ryan @Alaska Family Motor Sports for tuning up the sled and getting it ready for the upcoming cheap snowmobile video series! You da man Ryan! You guys check out Alaska Family Motor Sports in Anchorage if you need your snowmobile repaired or tuned up!

Powder heaven. Wish I were there, especially for a thousand bucks. That sled looks light and maneuverable, perfect for that deep powder. As an answer to the post preceeding mine. This is the third time I've purposely watched this particular video. All mountain deep snow sleding looks the same if you ask me. That's fine.

Looks like you got a great deal. Over here in the Telluride Co area we have got tons of snow this year. I might be moving back to Washington. Alaskan Marine ferry fishing trips again! I might hate the Anchorage area but the rest of Ak is amazing. Haven't had a good fish to eat since I left.
@garrettstrutz7421 Жыл бұрын
That is an awesome sled I owned one of those 700’s with a 144 20 years ago and really liked it. Super reliable plenty of power to go and seriously ride the powder and mountains. Takes a little more skill than these new sleds take to ride but it will take you pretty much anywhere u want to go and be a blast getting there. The 700 was really better than the 800 of the time. Highly highly recommend one of these to get into the sport or even if you have been riding a long time

Find it funny how all you vloggers like to say how not everybody can afford them new snowmobiles but yet all I ever see when I'm out there every single winter is everybody on a brand new snowmobile and I'm always on a 10 year old one only because I can't justify 16k for something that sits more then I ride and when it snows I am riding everyday except weekends.
