i need help on what sled to get.

im 17 and ride an 04 rev 144. its a great sled but i grew out of the track. im going to get an xp but i dont know whether to get a 154 or 146. i like more technical boondocking riding and not always just pointing it up hill. but i also need to be able to keep going in deep snow. so my question is would a 154 fit me better or be too much? i weigh about 160. but would a 146 not be enough? help me out please.
 
My nephew is 18 and about 160 soaking wet.....He rides his 09 Dragon 800 163" like Chris Burandt. :o :)I ride a 159" and when I get my Pro it's going to be a 155"

It's not just about track length, a lot is ability on the sled and moving to make the sled go where you want not just where you think the track can take you.

You're going to notice a huge ride difference no matter what brand/length you buy, a 04 chassis to a 07 or up chassis on any brand is going to be a huge leap forward too.

Buy a sled to match how you want to ride next year and evolve into it. Sounds to me like a 155 or 163 would be a easy transition for you.

I ride a 154 and it takes me everywhere I want to go.

x2 ^^^. Only way I would justify going longer is if I got a turbo and started riding with Krazy K. 9 times out of 10 (10th time being last winter) a 154 will be more than sufficient to get around anywhere.

Go with the 154 and when or if you learn how to ride the right way for boone docking you will stick with it or go shorter. The longer will climb a lot farther but at your weight you should be able to take it as far as a 200+lb guy on a 163, shorter is more challenging and will make you a better rider and increase the fun factor.

BTW, doesn't burandt ride a 155
 
Get the 154". I've know of two people that got the XP in the 144" and regretted it. Unless you have a need for a shorter track (even though it is 16"), I would just get the 154".
 
Sure, but only when it's running.

Ouch! So what do you know about his sleds dependability? He has quite a fleet of Pro's that probably get used (shop sleds) and abused (rentals) more than the average rider could only dream about.

I wasn't slamming the Pro I have two. (155 btw)
I was poking a little fun at Wyoboys constant digs on the sled. You would have to search his remarks . . . but don't bother, they are all the same, just go read one.

go the 154. i have always ridden a 144 or a 151. Its always been a challenge in the deep, but it WILL go where you want it to, you just have to make it happen. And now i am on a 163....way different and its harder to make the lines i used to on the short sleds.
 
Really if it where me and 17 years old I would ditch the 154 xp and buy a 155 Pro, it will make you a better rider and is better for technical riding. (while its running) and most have a 4 year warranty so no worries right.

BTW, if I rode stock sleds it would have been a pro last year.
 
yes he does, i think most of the top technical guys ride this length

What I thought,

I started with a 153 last year and stretched it to a 162, my weight is a big disadvantage but I am going back to a 153, its a blast when your in the tight trees on the steep and deep.
 
the pros are alot like my rev theyre sweet sleds but i cant afford something that new tho. plus iv always rode ski-doo and know more about them. the 154 is definitely gonna be what ill get unless i find a smokin deal on a 146. i was just worried i wouldnt be able to handle it in the trees and sidehills but i guess with the 50 pounds dropped i wouldnt have any problems. and the way you guys talk ill be pretty happy with it. thanks
 
Put the narrow a-arms on it and it will help quite a bit, I know some guys that put powerclaw tracks on them and love it, doesn't float the same the track works and makes it a better boondocker, at least thats what they claimed.
