Given that this has been a less than stellar snow year in our area and considering the slow to respond economy this summer might be a good time to buy a non-current sled. However, I find the manufacturer's line-ups confusing with irrelevant names and sub models. So, I am asking for your help!

By manufacturer, what is the model(s) that fit the following criteria:

800cc or above
136 inch track
NOT a mountain sled
electric start
reverse

Thanks in advance!

The new Cat 800 is a great motor, hasn't had much in the way of issues so far from what I have been reading. (I have a 2010 AC 800 so I have been reading and watching for issues) The motor has great pull and runs strong from top to bottom.

The Crossfire is a 141x1.5 inch sled but it is only 123 inches in total length which is not really any longer than most 136's on the market. Comes standard with electronic reverse and e-start is an option. The common issues that have come up with the 2010's have been minor and easily fixed/prevented.

Personally I would be leary of Poo's 800 till they get some proven reliability. I was on a Poo but wasn't confident enough in their 800 last spring when I was shopping.

Doo's 800 is a good motor, they have had a few issues from what I have seen but I don't follow them all that closely. Their chassis seems to be well received by most with some complaints regarding durability.

Basiclly any brand has their issues and the internet is a great way to research them. Just remember that not everything you read is true and the internet has a great ability to turn little stuff into big stuff.

Good luck and happy shopping!!
