I am an avid snowmobiler and I’ve owned AC, doo and poo’s. I’ll take an arctic cat over a doo or poo any day.

Whats your view of yamaha? Most ppl seem to agree they are the most dependable/reliable

What kind of sled are you looking for? Trail sled, mtn sled? Race sled? Yamahas are reliable but they’re heavy as hell. They don’t make any modern 2 strokes anymore either. Everything is 4 stroke. I guess it really depends on what type of riding you’ll be doing. Get a modern sled (rider forward).

Maintenance is the key to reliability on anything with a motor. Don’t ignore scheduled maintenance and check wear items regularly and you will have far less headaches in the long run.

What’s your budget? Any trail riding or just strictly back country?

But actually, performance is what you're after. A 4 stroke Yamaha will be reliable starting up everytime but it isn't worth it if you want to actually leave the trail. If you want a sled that will take you where you want to go, you'll have to accept its going to be an expensive liability in the accounting department. Who ever said money can't buy happiness never bought a ski-doo
