Intro and new guy question

[potterguy]

Hey guys new to the forum. Do most of my sledding in Potter County, PA and a little in Maine. Have an old air cooled cat but am looking at a 16 Viper (non-turbo) with a 141" track. I am an older guy and just like riding trails am I going to be disappointed with the longer track for that purpose?

Nope, it will be just fine. The 141 is only slightly longer in practice than a 137". The viper is a reliable machine, perfect for anyone who isn't after that turbo rush.

Thanks for the input quick question I think I know the answer but would you have any hesitation and buying one with 4300 miles on it?

LOL.. no. I wouldn't hesitate if it had 3 times that mileage or more as long as everything else checks out.

LOL, thought so just nice to have some agreement. Thanks!!

nice score.

that milage is low enough that it should have no worries other than the normal sr chassis issues.

if it is an xtx model sled, be aware that it probably has the un coupled suspension witch likes to lift the front end on hard acceleration.
