Puzzleboy Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Damn, Revrnd got me to dig into my brochure archives. Lol! This is one I get from Central Outboard in 1995. The prices were probably MSRP if I recall. He only had a french brochure. Didn't buy one though...... but the next year I bought a spanking new SLS 500 from them (my first new machine.). Memories..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieWonder Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 You'd prob get that sled for a grand , maybe less . And it looks clean . have to remember , it's getting vintage now . And you will not find a decent one after a while . Some kid will buy it and our monster decals and pogo stick risers on it ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New seat cover & plywood too. The rest was mostly just sand & paint. I had the welder @ work fix some minor cracks in the muffler. I wish I knew what he used because you'd be hard-pressed to find his work after he cleaned up the welds.. He said it was a low temp rod (what ever that is).

StevieWonder Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nice pics ! I picked it up for my kids , it's fun to boot around on . But in powder , nose dives like a German U boat still fun , already had it up and down the driveway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yep, a good welder is invaluable when fixing up old sleds. I've got a local guy who thus far has welded everything I gave him. Including the float tower in a Mikuni VM40. He has microscopes for extremely small jobs, and showed me rod as fine as lockwire. In the North Toronto area if anybody needs aluminum or steel welded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 What year is that Elan, Rev? Looks newer with that seat. We had a 250 Deluxe (twin) when we were kids. Around a '73 or '74. I could even start the thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny though because a lot of people like them. My next door neighbour has a lot of yellow junk. At least one maybe two Elans, a Citation SS, three or four silver bullets and a '68/69 super olympic. Good job on the resto by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
