what to do????

I have an 05 RMK 900-153, 2"paddle, shaved down to 1 3/4 with studs, looking at a 05 Summit 144", bone stock, is it worth my while to trade, or stick with what I got, also any problems known to anyone would be great.

I'd trade for the Doo. The 900's had issues, now they aren't even made.

The SDI is amazing technology. For instance an MXZ600 gets 9-10 MPG, the MXZ600 SDI gets almost 18! That or the 800 is my dream sled! They had a ring problem in 2003 and the beginning of 2004, but all recalls should have been done by now.

i can go roughly 165-170 mile on a tank of gas on my 05 firecat, but my buddy with his 05 600 sdi will just sit and wait for me in the parking lot. Crazy milage out of those sdi's while still riding hard, real hard.

If I could afford an SDI I'd definitely have one.

don't they say a skidoo 144x16 is the same as a 153x15? I'm not sure about real-world testing but I think the skidoo sounds like a good deal.
