im a cat guy but i was going to get the poaris 900 but i got a call after posting my ad on ksl and it was a guy wanting to trade fr a 2003 ski doo 800ho 144" track for my 2003 yamaha yz250 so i was thinking mabe good backup sled but you guys know your skidoos so would this be a good trade the 800 has around 3000 miles and has cracks in the hood and a small tear in seat thanks

I recently sold my '03 summit to a friend. Both me and my wife rode this sled. I thought the power was great as well as the reliability. It had around 1300 miles on mine before I sold it. It is a pretty heavy sled, but with some modifications I think they could be enjoyed for some years. You could always make yourself a mesh hood to cut down on the weight and possibly get a new seat. There are some guys who have done a rev conversion for the seat and it looks decent. I have always wondered if a new cat seat would be able to fit on it. Good luck.
