Already posted this in the new members area. Looking for some help with this sled. It is a 2000, Venture 2up. I am having some trouble figuring out what the exact model is. I think it's a VT480TFD. I cant find much listted on that model. The previous owner says its a 144" track. I want to put studs in it for ice fishing, but am not sure how many to go with. Everytime I find something resembling my sled on the net, it's in Russian and I don't read cyrillic. Here is a pic of the machine.

Never put studs on my sleds, but here are a couple of links that can get you started:

My guess is you would want to look at a 2 stud per window pattern or a 2-1-2-1 type pattern. Once you figure out a pattern count the number of windows on the track and you have the number of studs you need. Measure the height of the lugs and go 1/4" taller for the studs - ie 1" lug - get 1.25" studs.

Good luck!
