I am looking to get back into snowmobiling after being out of it for 20 some years. The last sled I drove was a mid 70's Ski-Doo 440 free air. It was a lot of fun but mind you I was 8 years old at the time. Anyway, I have been wanting to get back into the sport for a while. Being semi brand loyal I always planned on getting a Doo. However, I am not overly happy with the REV. And after checking out the new Yamaha line up I am pretty much sold on making the jump. I need a sled that I am going to be primarly hitting the trails in Northern Wiscosin and the U.P. I also would like to have the option of being able to adjust my sitting position some. I am 6' 2" 240 and I dont plan on ridding forward all the time. Also it needs to have enough seat room that I can let my 6 year old boy jump on sometimes as well. From what I can tell it seems like the Attak was a pretty good fit as a showroom rider but how is it on the trail? Anyother suggestions, comments, or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well iflyem all i can say is wow,the attak is what stole me away from the apexGT that i had ordered,now in all fairness i never got to ride the apexgt just the apex er and attak side by side comparisons,and what i found on the same day w/same conditions was the attak rode and most impressively handled better for my weight at the time which was 250+# now i am down to 215# but i know it will still be awsome,now i ride all sorts of trails from tight one sled twisty trails from so. Maine to rr beds in no. Maine and i am convinced it is the right sled for me,and thats saying alot i am now 50 years young and i have been riding sence 1966 and had alot of sleds to choose from,all i can say is still WOW thing rocks you wont be dissapointed go for it...

The Attak seemed to be the best riding in the spring test ride and being 136" would be better for riding 2 up with a child. Best sled I have ever ridden just bummed out by the $3500 penalty for being Canadian.

The Attak is the way to go. I live and ride in northern wisconsin in the snowbelt. The 136 lets me rip up the lakes powerlines and pipe lines. Super on the trails. Go for it.
