Personally I think its more fun to ride a vintage 70s muscle sled around a lake than it is to ride a newer sled around on a lake. There nothing like looking right at the powerhouse of a larger displacement motor that didnt really have strict DB levels to comply with. I fixed my first ski-doo elan when i was around 5 when my dad tought me how to unstick a needle valve on a tillotson carb. and ive been into fixing/restoring them ever since. The nice thing about the older ones is that there isnt a mess of digital fuel management and a complex wiring harness and all that crap just simple stuff that, with some basic knowledge of motors, you can do yourself at your house instead of bringing it to a mechanic.
