Hi.

Hey I'm new to this site and snowmobiling acually. I'm saving right now for a 2001 Arctic Cat ZR800 or a 2005 Firecat F7 Snopro 700 (depends how much I am willing to save and if they dont get bought). So I might be asking some dumb questions, but engine wise I could be well off since I build car engines.. we'll see haha.

Right now I currently own:
-No sled
-90 mustang 351W (370rwhp)

It's up to you but $2K is a lot of money with no income is what I meant and you WILL put money into the sled.
