September 19, 200520 yr My dad is giving me his old snowmobile. It's pretty slow, and needs a new windshield and track, but other than that it's in great shape, which is surprising. It is a 1983 Yamaha Bravo. I can't even find pictures of it because it's so old. Good thing it's only going to cost about $300CDN to fix up. Engine still runs great.
September 19, 200520 yr i gave up snowmobiling when it started being highway robbery for trail passes.
September 19, 200520 yr i gave up snowmobiling when it started being highway robbery for trail passes. I did the same. I used to be able to go from my yard and cross the street to the river and go from there but now I refuse to pay. I had a 1981 Yamaha SRV. 550 fan cooled but it was fast. I know what yours looks like. Yamaha parts are expensive. /monthly_06_2011/post-582-13081017632_thumb.jpg
September 19, 200520 yr I agree with gator. Have fun but be safe, plus i live in virginia so i might never be able to buy one or need one.
September 21, 200520 yr no not really mac...but i like cold climate and not having to move myself. Well I sure hope your not looking at something else of theirs then...
September 27, 200520 yr Author They have discontinued the track that I need for this, so I have to buy a sprocket kit and a new track, that's $399.95CDN. Then it needs a new windshield, and maybe a new recoil assembly (it may just need a bolt). So I'm looking at over $500 plus gas. Insurance isn't really a problem for three months, and then it's smooth sailing. Klink, mine's only a 250.
September 27, 200520 yr ah hmmm have many of you been behind a team in 80 below weather? Or on a snowmobile either is to dang cold thats why I prefer the snowcats...
