I think it’s hilarious that you posted this. I almost posted the exact same question a couple of weeks ago. Inventory management at my house has made a similar suggestion but I’m disputing the claim. For the record, there are currently five sleds in the sled shed: three vintage and two semi-late models that aren’t all that new. There were six until one was sold last spring but there is a replacement on order (finally). Granted, I’m about the only one that rides much anymore but I not sure that should be figured in. My position is that as long as they fit in the shed I’m not overstocked.
You didn’t mention how many you have but I think it’s unlikely that you have too many. I think it will help if you show your wife posts such as this. You might actually come off looking like you need more.

This is my problem. We're down to only three but I never even started our third sled last winter. I'm gonna have problems with it if I don't get out there and run some fresh gas through it soon. Have to run the Kitty Kat too.

Hey now....Although some of us might be affected by the old days when you needed three to have one running well enough to use.
Tuff getting down to 1 Yamaha Attak but been that way for 3 years now & back up sled just gathered dust. Downsized & time to do other things than maintain sleds & you can only ride 1 at a time anyway.
Can't see having more than 2 sleds for 1 rider.polarisrider1

I am currently down to one 2012 RMK Pro 800. In the past when the kids where stilll at home I peaked at around 12 sleds, all decent sleds. My brother has almost always 30-60 sleds. none newer than 1980. He goes on streaks of what he collects, right now it is Sno Hawks. last week it was Massey Ferguson.

I currently have two. Have not had anymore then 2 at one time. The only reason i have two is they have different abilities. 2011 skidoo renegade 1200 4 tec and 2012 skidoo renegade 600 Etec. Love the 4 stroke for trail riding and for when someone wants to ride along. The etec is great for on/off trail and much lighter and more nimble.
I don't think there is a magic number to your question. It is like her telling you you have to many tools, or you telling her she has to many shoes. If you don't think you have to many then you don't have to many. If they start to get in the way or get to be a hassle to work around then you may have to many. So if the shed/shop/garage isn't full, keep on buying.

Amen to this! I have space for one more, maybe two if I get rid of some frivolous things like a lawn mower, snow blower, pressure washer, etc.
P.S. reiley, I like the way you think - a 72 Olympic, one of the sleds that opened up the sport to the average guy. Kind of a "lunch pail" do everything sled.
I aways liked the 72 skidoo I think it the flip up head light that does it for me.Plus It's the first snowmobile I've ever drove and started the addicting madness of snowmobiling for me.I won't tell my wife that she'd probably let me get it then she'd burn it to the ground.LOL I already got her to move to the U.P.(Which she loves living up here by the way).
