I got a new sled for the wife!
Just bought my wife a 2005 Firecat F7 EFI. Its newer than mine. Excellent condition with reverse, 153 picks,an air intake upgrade and a Black Magic can!!She rode my F7 for two days while we were in the UP and said thats what she wants. She loved it!!I'll be picking it up on the way home from work tonight. Can't wait!!!

Lucky her. You must either have your own small engine repair shop or work for Ford.

Great addition. I'm still looking for a sled for my wife. She rode my ZR this weekend, and it accelerates too fast for her. She also complained that it was too heavy. When I ride it, the skis are hardly ever on the ground, light as a feather.

FYI that intake isnt doing anything.. Doesnt give you any more horsepower, actually takes some away.. Awesome sled though!!!

Nope it isnt a big deal at all. But i think it might of been speedwerx that did some dyno tests and the sled made more power w/o the intake.. Still a great sled though with or without it!

You guys are killin me.
Electric start would be nice!!I had her try to start it while it was in the trailer yesterday.She was afraid of hitting her head on the trailer top though,so she didn't try all that hard. But it looked like she was tryin to pull 10 cement blocks out of the river. We'll have to work on that. Maybe a weight lifting program or something!

That's what I like about EFI, You do not have to pull it over as fast to get it to start.

Speaking of that I normally only pull my rope about 1 1/2 feet to get it started!
