theres a weight/handling penalty on turbos but if you like tons of power and reliability then they are silly fun!!

also, I do believe that cat has something big coming for 2020 and cat/Yamaha want the dealerships inventory gone by next spring so when they release it things get crazy! I'm hoping they figured out a way to shed the weight on the turbo for 2020

i was at the local yam/cat/doo dealer today and they told me they will only be spring checking yamahas for 2019, Yamaha came and got there 17's and 18's and auctioned them and all cats on the floor are below invoice -$500 and if there is some I want better order it, which there isn't to be honest

Just finished a convo with the wife.

Gave her a pretty good description of my balaclava, with my nose running, after a 20 mile blast up the trail.

"Wash your own fucking balaclava, pal."

The Old Barney turbo is a better chassis with better clutches. They are comfy and ride like a pillow. And somehow have low effort steering.

the procross was a good idea with poor execution 

I’d consider a Barney turbo. Can make a cheap and reliable 230 hp out of it

Hard here too. They’re junk. Procross has been a disaster imo 

Cat dealers makes almost nothing on the sled vs skidoo, skidoo dealers do well on brp  products

I know on the Spider the dealer makes 3500 per 3 wheeler, that' alot

They don’t make that much on the sleds.

I don't think they make much at all off of sleds. 

Money is in the parts and service. They make a few dollars off sled sales but not a lot. They can double it with trades if they take them in right

There is a marina here that used to sell Cats and I know the owner fairly well and he said the amount they make on a new sled doesn't amount to much of anything...maybe why they stopped selling sleds.

I think trades are risky too, many dealers don't want trades nowadays. And I think the ones that do just use them to facilitate sales of new units. That's why they never offer shit for your trade, unless it's a skidoo etec. :bc:
