My wife and I have decided to buy a new GT. The dealer has a new 550F, and for $800 more, a new 500L. We really need some opinions from folks familiar with the two powerplants and sleds. Is it worth $800 for the heavier l, or is the lighter f with the new 550 the better choice? Help!!! and thanks.

Go with the liquid. Wife has a 02 legend 500f and I have a 03 MXZ 500 trail. I made the mistake of letting her ride mine for a couple miles and now she want's to get rid of the fan and get a liquid.

Get the liquid.If your buying a grand touring your not concerned with wieght and the extra hp of the liquid motor will be another bonus.

Go liquid, you'll get smoother power, a quieter machine, crisper acceleration in mild temperatures and likely better fuel economy. Not that it matters right now, but at resale time, the liquid will hold its value better.

:( be careful skidoo has had trouble this year with the 500 liquid my dealer has had 3 motors go because they were made wrong within 15 miles but for 800 go for the liquidd but dont be afraid of the fan its an 80 mph sled and is good on gas and will do every thing the liquid does but top speed,good luck
