The only 82 SRX's that got out were the ones used for testing and magazine articles like mine. The 81 SRX's were a nightmare and Yamaha had a ton of recalls,replaced engines, and unhappy customers. The 82 was all set to go with magazines and brochures out and orders taken. Yamaha pulled the plug at the last minute because they did not want another 81 SRX nightmare out there. They spend the extra year devolping the 83 V-max 540 which was a huge hit in the muscle sled market. Jeff Wurl

Just curious are you going to rent sleds out there or trailer your own.
I love boating,but love snowmobiling more. There is nothing like it. I live in NC, but still snowmobile in upstate NY in the winter. I had 24 sleds here in NC and I am down to 6 now. Slowly selling snowmobiles to pay for new drives,new motors, and broken parts. Damn boating is expensive!!!!! Jeff Wurl
We will rent. I doubt anyone, myself included, in Central Texas owns a snowmobile.

Joe, what weekends are you going to Tug? Pete and I are trying to plan a trip and that was one of the locations we where thinking about. This time you don't have to worry about me swimming since all the water will be frozen!! :26:

They look cool guys.....but I have never even seen one in person/ lived in FL since I was 5. I have only seen snow a few times (even as an adult) and my wife (age 36) has never seen snow!
How does a snomobile ride compared to a waverunner/seadoo? Similar experience?

Sleds are faster(even a 500 or 600cc will get you over 100 MPH and get to 60 MPH in under 4 secs) and they handle a little differently. Going around corners a sled will want to lift the inside ski. You counter this with body language. On a Sea-doo the hull carves in the direction you lean. Also, you don't have to worry about a pump losing suction and giving you a herky-jerky ride. When I see moguls ahead, I stand up and take them with my knees. Once you get good at this, you can skip the sled across the top of the moguls. IMO there is nothing like driving a sled.
