........may as well with this crapy weather. I look out my back door and it looks the same as it did in February, no snow and the same temp!(45deg)

I run Cat's, but like all brands, let's not turn this into a brand bashing thread like amsnow forums.

I have three Cat's : 1999 ZRT800
1993 Thundercat
2001 440 Sno Pro
...and ton's of parts

This sled is my main ride I've changed something from front to back.

It started out a stock 800, but I have put a 900cc topend on it with CPR pipes. I also longtracked it 121" to 136" and am running a 1.25" lug track with studs, it hooks up big time. It also has a Avenger III EGT gauge, 99' Sno Pro handle bars, 00' Sno Pro front clicker shocks, and a 02' Mountain Cat seat with clear tank(not shown in pic) It has about 180hp and will put the speedo past 6 o'clock 115+ not bad for a longtrack!

This is the first year of the Thundercat, it has a Brads BLT with works shocks, 98 ZR skid, CC bars, ported motor, K&N's and hook up for my Avenger III. It's mostly just a lake racer.

This is Cat's snowcross racer for 2001, 400lbs and 98hp out of a little 440, very fun on the trails and easy on the back. It will run close to 100mph in a long run.

It's totally stock, I only used it once last winter. It has a really trick rear shock set up. Both shocks are linked to each other with a SS braided line to work with each other in the BIG bumps!

I got a tame user-friendly machine. Something a person would buy for their wife to ride...

'98 Polaris XLT classic. 580cc, electric start, reverse, grip warmers. I bought a "Seat Jack" add-on 2-up back seat for my girlfriend to ride. It just barely does 100 on packed snow, runs good. The shocks are all worn out, I'll replace them if it snows next year...

Life seems to be getting more and more misreable. No snow in the winter, and no friggin warm sunny days when I am off from work (which is much too seldom). So I sold my machine last year here it is.

97 VMAX 700 SX with a bunch of performance goodies that don't make it any faster when it doesn't snow.

heres one of mine, for sleds, I have to lean on the Yamaha band wagon!!!! same here, all else is great too, so long as we all hit the trails together! mine took a 3 day dip in the lake this past season, but ran fine after draining some water out! Still gonna go over the engine this spring, make sure all is well inside her!
engine all stock, Bender silencer, M-10 suspension now, and 168 1" studs in her track...

I see that I am not the only person enjoying bot hotboats and snowmobiles.

I have to say I am partial to the Arctic Cats though, Here's mine a ZRT 800 with a few Black Magic parts to upgrade a sled thats too fast stock already. ( would have pulled it out for a better shot but its too heavy, the garage gets smaller and smaller every year)
