well, Still no pictures because of skid nstall problems....
I found out why I am having so much trouble getting the skid back in - Hartman sent the wrong rail extensions!
I'm hoping he gets the right ones to me in time enough for me to get it on the snow this weekend. I'll post pictures and a ride report when that happens.

I know this was from a long, long time ago, but did ya ever get it all puit back together????? How have you liked the 144" track?????? any pics?
Sorry - never did get photos posted, but did get her back together again - the right parts help!
It's a good improvement, looks good with the 2 inch paddle. But I'd say for what I was looking for - float on powder - I would go even longer.
It still sinks a bit and feels heavy, but some adjustments to the control bar improved that at the end of the season last year. Bottom line - it's a heavy sled, still has darting problems and still needs more to float thru powder. I'm pretty convinced that the skid on these things is the major culprit.
I probably should have went with a lighter sled for around here, but my next step is to put some Skidoo pilot skis on. My wife has a new Skidoo Tundra with them on it and it steers like a dream power steering machine.....
