First sled stoke!

**Gunder** · 02-15-2008, 08:07 PM

Damn I cant believe that I finally did it.

I just picked up this bad boy:

08 Skidoo Rev XP Summit Everest 800 with electric start.

Now my top ramen is going to taste even better now that I have a good reason for being poor.

**Atrain505** · 02-15-2008, 08:10 PM

Yaaaaa Gunder! Stoked for you.
Don't forget about us, eh?

Edit to say I will be even poorer next year to make the same purchase.

**easyrdr** · 02-15-2008, 08:18 PM

Nice buy dude-if you need to practice towing folks to the pow I would be happy to help out.

**Donkey Punch** · 02-15-2008, 08:22 PM

Very nice, I also will be poor next winter for the same reason, except Polaris. Oh and make sure you have a couple belts with you to start out, I know a lot of XP's have ate belts some with as few as 50 miles on them. So make sure you are covered till you find out if you have a belt eater or not.

he's gonna need to practice driving himself to the pow first.... without tipping over... or.... hitting any gas lines...

**GoNads** · 02-15-2008, 08:24 PM

Grats Gunder! But why the electric start? Girlie man... haha.

Have fun on the Island, and be ready to do a lot of digging.

**trainnvain** · 02-15-2008, 08:57 PM

What? No pictures of the actual pony?
Whassamatter, no camera?

**Tap** · 02-15-2008, 09:07 PM

hope it takes you to the misty, Gunder

You are going to love it. I have the same sled in a 163" and could not be happier with it. 300 miles no burned belts, and have no complaints. Great sled.

Glad to see you're still kicking around.

**Kellie** · 02-15-2008, 10:14 PM

Congrats! You really went for it, eh?!?!

Drag that sucker on up, buddy

I wouldnt buy a new model ski doo ever after this and last season w/ their 800's.

Lemons are yellow.

**DirkaDirkaJack** · 02-16-2008, 03:37 AM

Exactly... skidoo are really good if there are any problems, anyways. I have an 07 800 and they warrantied the clutch, and extended the engine warranty by another year. This year they are refunding any and all belts that explode, go to town. Skidoo is a good product.

**bossass** · 02-16-2008, 04:22 PM

If I sold both my cars, I....

Nevermind. Nice sled, Grant.

**cold_smoke** · 02-16-2008, 04:34 PM

Very Nice, that would be the perfect compiment to my bearcat. That thing will help you get to the money lines, and money shots! Certainly a wise investment.

**JeffreyJim** · 02-16-2008, 04:52 PM

One day...

Sick man!

**SkiOrDie** · 02-16-2008, 06:43 PM

You'll love it. I rode one around in the Sierra a lot - great great GREAT ride!!!

**teamdirt** · 02-16-2008, 11:43 PM

yeah Grant-welcome to the dark side

Finally a good excuse for the home-brew

**PNW Skier** · 02-17-2008, 12:09 AM

Braaaaap Braaaaap! Have fun with that thing, it might be a little frustrating at first but it's well worth the pain!

**koolaideprived** · 02-17-2008, 12:31 AM

Hot. Now get some real pics up!

This is my 7th winter snowmobiling. Thousands of miles.
I'm not being a dick. I've heard plento of stories from my friends that there is a list of problems that keeps building w/ the 07/08's. i.e. failure on 800's.

I'm biased against BRP.
And I had a lemon 98 summit that thing never ran good. But my bud who had the same sled ran great.

Gunder will probably be fine. Slednecks over on Snowest ride harder probably.
I would get the 600 ho poo if I were buying this year. When you get proficent at sledding the 600's they make today will get you anywhere they go. All you got to do is trackpoach.

pages of the stuff really. Just in case anyone is on the fence buyer beware!!
