well guys,, after much much consideration I believe that FOR ME a M8 is the best decision. A major factor in my decision is that I do not believe I personally need the best of everything. I don't think the trade off is worth while. The M is not going to hold me back to the degree that overrides the poo's 800 motor issues. So I won't have the best chassis, big deal, at least I have a stronger confidence that I will not be rebuilding my motor anytime soon. If I keep up with good maintenance on the diamond drive I should be good for 2-3 years. If and when Poo earns my respect on their motors I will buy one in a heart beat and I can't wait till that happens.
Ski-doo is not there yet IMO with a gizmo to allow the sled to roll over easier. They made leaps and bounds with a better steering post, better boards, rounded plastics,,,,,etc.
The M just makes better sense to me and after all, we all make decision as well as we can for our own personal reasons. To all the Poo owners, you have an excellent sled, the best chassis and probably the best fun factor,,more power to ya! But for now, I believe an M sno-pro is in order, 2009-11

If you are looking at 2009-11 vintage an M is an excellent choice...although I would refine that to 2010-2011. I too would have the same concerns as you with the Poo 800 so I understand your choice based on the criteria you have expressed that is going into your decision.
Now if you were looking at 2013+ I would definitely consider Doo and the 13+ M. Both have stronger and more reliable engines than Poo. It just comes down to whatever sled you feel more comfortable on. Good news is all 3 manufacturers are putting out very capable machines. Did you read the write up in Snowest on the Summit/M/Pro? They are very close in all categories.

I wonder if there are any sno pro's out there still left over. I like that adjustable factory riser
Lenny, Kip or Chad can slap one of those adjustable risers in for you as a retro fit. Not sure of the price, but it is not real big numbers. Don't quote me, but maybe 200-300 bucks. They are very nice to have!
-John
The adjustable post is sweet Lenny, but if I was to do it over again, I think I would save the 1000 or so bucks extra for the SnoPro and do like John suggested. The fox floats are just this side of worthless in my opinion.

wow the 6500$ I got in nov for my 08m8 sp is looking better all the time.....
I loved my fox shocks worked good for my type riding...I could set the up for trail, then I had a setup for the deep depending on snow coinditions it helped me a ton.....you really have to dial them in or yes they will be no use to you...
I am with the others the floats are not great I would rather have some non floats with a set of ty springs.
the post is about 30min to install under 200 bucks.
the sno pro alt gauge is ok if u calibrate now and then.
I just look at it for grins just to know.
the LTD is the one to get if u can find best color stock goggle warmer /tunnel bag/and imho best paint color from cat

Like Pat said, it's the sailor not the ship. My "ship" is far more qualified for the task then I. Never had that before with a sled. Did I mention I love my sled. Sitting on it and typing this right now. (Our partly cloudy contains rain and the 77 degrees is 57) .
