What was everyones first sled that got them hooked on the sport. Mine was a 1972 Yamaha 338. It never really went over the snow like a snowmobile should, it sort of just plowed through it. :lol: I have to say that I really hated that sled but it got me hooked on sledding. My second was a 1976 Sno Jet SST 440. Now that sled would fly across the snow, I loved it. Anyway what did everyone else get started on and maybe attach pictures if you got them?

First one of my own was a '70 Moto-Ski MS18 with a one-lunger JLO 372. My brother still owns it. I'll try to get pics next summer.

First one I drove was my dad's '67 Moto-Ski Cadet with a 250 Hirth.

1st sled I ever rode on was a Sno-Prince-don't remember the specifics-like 12hp, kind of an off-white thing-I was a little kid, but I did (attepted) to snow ski with a tow rope behind it. My 1st sled I ever purchased is my 97 Panther 550 2-up.
