I am not a big fan of PWCs ( I only mentioned PWC so that I would not get kicked off the board with a non reel/boat question). I am a big fan of snowmobiles. I am in the market for a snowmobile and so I am starting on the learning curve for snowmobiles. I have googled so much information that it boggles the mind. However, I need to know which of you members has had snowmobile experience and will be able to tell me what to watch out for while looking at used sleds. Dominick
hey, you can ice fish from a snowmobile. not a problem! ;D
Hey dominic Get ahold of Tod Palin.
I think he is an expert he has won the Alaskan snow machine race several times.

Yeah, maybe I can join his reality show.
Oh Oh I did not capitalize your name. Sorry!
I didn`t know he had one, his daughter did though.
Hey how about those New Jersey kids.
I think maybe they need to fish more.
Actually I think we all need to fish more.

Thanks Rob: If you are going to use the Italian, it's Domenico. What about you are you at an altitude where you get snow? Domenico
Domenico, :-[
We get snow about once every 1-3 years. Our house is at just over 600 feet. I'll let you know if we get enough to run the snowmobiles on (happened once in the last 13 years. :-\) 30-45 minute drive to good long-term stuff. I'll let Dom know, too. He really loves the white stuff. ;D
Nice toys Dominick! I want to be just like you when I get older...hopefully,only better looking ;D.
I'm glad you're having fun. Life is too short, live it up ;).

Rob: That's funny. Dom only hears about snow and he gets the shakes.

Sal, you'll never be as good looking as me. I'm not having fun yet. I have to tear the machines down while the weather is warm to make sure the machines will be dependable when the snow season starts. I approach snowmobiling like boating. The vehicles need to be dependable for survival. It's no fun to be broken down miles away from help whether in a boat or the middle of a blizzard. In both instances one's life depends on the integrity of the vehicle. Ok, I'll shut up now. Dominick

Sal,
I notice Dominick didn't mention installing the fish-finders, rod racks and downriggers. ;D
Seriously Dominick, you're spot on when it comes to survivability. Glad to hear you're serious about it.
Rob

Dom
