I am dealing on a new 2005 RS Rage holdover. I can get the sled, factory Yamaha cover, casttle racing jacket and bibs, liscense, and trail permit out the door for $7300. What do you guys think?

Which brings me to another question. I need a trailer for it if I buy it. I was looking for a used aluminum, tilt 8.5'x10' snowmobile trailer. I am in southern MN and having a hard time finding one that is in nice shape for a decent price. Also, I only have a car to pull it with and was wondering if it would be able to handle a trailer like that with two sleds on it. ('97 Ford T-Bird)..........Might have to find a used single place instead.

What does everyone think?

Including taxes???? Sounds like a hell of a deal to me!

You should broaden your search to galvanized steel trailers, they are usually cheaper than aluminum, but not by much and are heavier, but not by much either. If you find a good deal on both of them them and you have the option, go with the aluminum, we have a glavanized and wish we got aluminum.

Two place trailers are the only way to go if you even have a slight doubt you might be towing a trailer behind your sled, going with a buddy or decide later down the road to get another sled.

BTW, your T-bird should pull it just fine, isnt that the one with the V8?. Even if it has the V6, it shouldnt have a problem. Its a big car so it wont be pushed like my jeep pulling a trailer. Im the guy you see holding up traffic pulling sleds downt he highway, I pull off though to let some by.
