23 years with Ski Doo. I've owned 18 over that period. Only had 2 problems *that resulted in being towed in over that many sleds. One was a bearing on a 503 engine, 1982, and a bearing on the drive axle of a 1995. I can not complain about the relilability, only smile and say good things about S/D's.

My first sled was a yamaha,after that,pretty much all DOO's

First sleds were Moto Skis, also an old Olympic, then rode Polaris for a long time. Nothing bad to say about Polaris, just that I was looking for something that they do not currently offer. In 1972 there were over 100 sled manufacturers (mostly lame), now there are only four. If any of them made truly bad sleds, they would be out of business by now.

'77 Moto Ski Futura
'67 Olympic 292
'79 Moto Ski Mirage
'86 Polaris Indy Sport
'88 Polaris Indy 400
'94 Polaris Indy 500 EFI SKS
'03 Skidoo Rev 600HO Sport

I started out snowmobiling in 92 with a 89 exciter. In 94 I bought my dads 91 mach 1 and now I finally broke down and got a rev 600.

I started to ride in 1996.
1979 Tnt 340
1986 Formula MX
1997 Mach 1
1998 Formula 111

been riding since the 80's and NEVER rode a doo-

just bought a REV 800X so I am excited about becoming one of the doo faithful!
