2024 Boost Expert Ride Report (The new and improved aluminum "lighter" weight boat anchor)

[RBalazs]

For those of you who think you need to do this please consider making it out of a thick rubber truck mudflap, instead of aluminum. I have done both in the past and for teeter-tottering on logs, the rubber option is much better. If you rivet it on while holding the "v" shape it is very strong against the snow but will flatted if on a log.

My N/A bogs a bit in heavy, deep snow too. Thinking this would be the best for fixing that.

Chadley buy you that?

Haha, nah stole it from my wife She was very concerned as to why I stole her stanley

 

[IDspud]

Ah…Chadley bought your wife a Stanley.

Sweet, I think I’m going to do this to my boost.

What’s the thickness of the aluminum you used?

maybe 1/16"but I like the idea of a thick mudflap

Here’s a couple pics of what I did on mine. In deep Revy snow every time I would get the exhaust side down in the snow it would bog. This 1” extension I made has totally eliminated that issue.

i did this to my sled. still get a slight bog on right hand turns in the deep. seems better, but wondering if what else i should start looking at doing...?

Pretend your a NASCAR driver and only turn left!!!

Snow consistency makes the bog show up more. Fluffy dry, not as bad. Heavy snow seems to be the worst.

What year is it? Because I hear the 24's are much better because they run cleaner and don't get choked out as easy. My 24 has yet to bog.

it's a '23, but it has the latest update. I have heard that the latest update is actually the '24 map, but I don't know for sure???

I believe it is. Not sure why you might be having issues but watch Brett Turcott's Youtube video from about a year ago where he compares the 9R to the Boost and how the Boost would bog. Have you done any clutching that might load the motor at a lower RPM than stock?

24 runs a lot better. Still can get the 24 to bog in certain situations. I put the boondocker tunnel dump on my 23, zero bogs now when I use to get a few a day.

Careful the lead might melt and the bog will reappear.

rode stupid deep snow yesterday. sled bogged, not bad, but it was there. i think it had both intake and exhaust causes. definitely was there on right turns, but could generally work out of it. also occasionally riding straight or turning left. i attribute that to blocked intake vents. i was wiping the vents all day.
i think i need to do something to the intake, just not sure what/which?

I think the boondocker vent has good reviews. I have them on mine but have yet to be in deep snow

I installed the Silber intake elbow, but yet to ride deep enough powder to give it an honest review.

That Silber intake 90 works awesome. I’ve sold over a dozen to guys in Revy. It eliminates the issue. Just sent 9 more out that way to guys that have ridden with buddies that have them.

I did both sides Ibexx. I would say it was better but still had bogs. Also broke one on the second ride. I would try the boondocker or 3D logic ribkage next time.

I suggest going with the silber intake like the above pictures, it not only addresses the snow plugged factory vents but it also fixes the weak factory 90* rubber that collapses once it gets hot.
