most reliable utility type snowmobile?
Posted on Jan 22, 2010 under snowmobile travel |snowmobile to be used for hauling firewood, trapline, general backcountry traveling. very remote area, no room for breakdown.
A Ski-Doo Alpine is what you are looking for. These were made, from the early 1970’s, till the late 1980’s. these particular sleds, were made for work. Actually, they were made for the ski lodges, in case someone got hurt, or, if the owners had to haul stuff up or down the ski hill. The Ski-Doo Alpine has two tracks, and, one ski. These things, are a work horse, indeed. They have electric start, and, reverse, as well. One would think, that having only one ski, in front, would be unsteady, though, it is not. I own a 1971 Ski-Doo Alpine, and, it is almost impossible to tip over. Not that I purposely try to tip it over, you understand, but, sometimes, you need to go over snow banks, and, other sleds, can tip over real easy, indeed. Another workhorse, would be a Evinrude or a Johnson snowmobile… A 1968 to a 1970… These sleds, had electric start, wide track and reverse. I have several of these, and, people like them, for ice fishing. I just took my 1969 Evinrude Skeeter, out of storage, and, replaced the spark plugs, and added fresh gas, and, shee fired right up. I was thinking of selling this one, actually. If I were to sell it, I would let it go, for $200. Hope this helps you some.

skidoo scandic, about as close to a 4wd snowmobile as you can get. big track, big load capacity, very reliable.
