I picked this sled up from Seth (yam177) this past August and have been slowly working on it since. I'm going thought the entire sled replacing what is needed, since racing tends to be a bit hard on things.
Here is what it started life as:
Here's how it looked once i got it:
Decals Removed:
The rear section of the tunnel had be tore up from an end over end flip. So that had to be rebuilt. I had plans of doing a whole new tunnel but due to time restrictions this is what i came up with for this year:
I installed a new rear tunnel section and closed off the hole for under tunnel exhaust.
It is also being streched to a 136", Back country track and 8" Cat wheels. Thanks for the parts Dave (LSXM3)!
Here it is mocked up:
Tunnel powder coated and installed:
As you can see there is still a lot to do before the season starts, I will updated as i move forward. It should look good sitting next to this on the trailer though.

How are those painted plastics holding up?
Looks awsome I'm about 40 mins from you and drive through AL all the time on the way to Rochester!

As you can see they are pretty beat up, but the paint does seem to adhere well to them. I am going to recoat them once the rest of sled together. That way if winter comes early and i have to ride with beat up plastic for one season so be it.
Dave- Definitely have to get together for a ride.
Kinger- Let me know sometime when your on your way through always cold beer and sled talk to be had. I am very much a fan of your build and followed it for a while now.

See me after this season...
Dibs has been officially called on that ^^^!
Kinger its my understanding that Seth raced it in semi pro stock class. Meaning no engine, intake or exhaust mods, but that leaves suspension, clutching, renforcing, and controls.
Things that have been done to it:
Full set of exit shocks fronts and rears.
Curve skis
RSI bars and riser
OFT Relocator
Trail Tank
Renforced spindles and subframe. (Even though it appears he may have been able to still tweak it a bit)
Maybe Seth can list more i am forgeting.
And yes i did recieve the new cover and COO. Thanks for following up with that!
