Not greg b

My dealer picked up Kawasaki a few months before country cat. The Kawasaki’s out sold the cat atvs with in 2 months. They won’t order any more cat dirt products.

I honestly had more fun riding that old jag while my rr was down the entire season. I did not miss my rr one bit. I have been toying with the idea of getting an old sled to ride as I do get more enjoyment out of them

Cat’s snow offering was never really an issue. They were running consistent sales and the units were moving. Even the twin spar sold and the early procross issues didn’t really effect their sales. That inventory stunt they pulled is what killed the procross. the dirt product offerings were shit as the atv market was exploding and they did nothing. They are doing the exact same thing with sleds now as they did with dirt line. Selling an outdated widget no one wants.

I honestly haven’t even looked at anything snowmobile related. I almost put all my stuff up for sale 2 weeks ago but I was to lazy to go outside and take a picture

Shortly after that was when Jordan was sent away and that other guy was brought in to save the company Which he did. How ever the damn devil bought it and they are doing their typical Textron thing.

The year for the 2015 model year (spring 2014) is what put the nail in the coffin for cat. The sport had come off their best year in decades. Cat leadership up the booking orders to double of the previous year to be on the program. 2015 was a low snow winter so most dealers had more carry over sleds than they typically sell in a year. By the 2016 model year the dealers had 3 years of inventory on their lots and a lot of their credit lines were maxed out with cat. With maxed out credit lines and way to much inventory cat could not ship anything to the dealers and get money coming in. This caused them to start burning through their cash reserves real fast. Textron bought them out when they were danger close to running out of money. You could see this in their stock price history.

Price out a 4 seater can am turbo. They are 30k us

Enough to get a semi load of crocs and vipers

She will quit and go to ez go after the first winter

Nope.

when you are that high up in engineering that is standard operating procedure.

I saw Brian was let go. However I noticed they are now full blown into “Textroning” cat. After reading the sno gore article their new chief won’t be there long. Her back ground is aero space. She has been bounced all through cat upper positions. As soon as the position is open in aero space they want her for, she will go there. While at cat she won’t do shit. I have seen them do this many times at Jacobsen. The person would flat out tell us they are there until they get moved to the areospace side and won’t do much.

Remind me to screen shot it and send it to you lol

My guess is Textron had them enter into a non compete agreement as all cat’s sled use only use fox shocks other the b last and baby sleds.

It went away like the year after tucker retired

So they will end up being the arctic cat of electric cars??

The cts-v is a fun car. My cousin has had one for a long time. I am sure the newer ones are even faster. I know his pulls way harder than my bone stock camaro ss

Pretty much. They can’t except the fact their is a market for it, it’s been around a long time and it works. It’s now getting to the level where they can sell it a price most people can afford.

Went and threw more gas on the fire

Go see the one in the Hcs general forum if you can still see it. Ram rod went mental in it. Even more mental when deep haven said he would buy a Tesla to try once they build them better than a 1980’s VW lol.

They haven’t had cat on their for a few years now

Works great for hauling the cooler when we go ride around the island ditch banging and local short cuts. It’s also surpriseingly quick for how big it is. It will go 60-65. I put probably 200 miles on it this winter

You can see the tipped rails in pictures of it on the trailer

I mine does not have hi/lo. I will find a picture of it. Fucker is mint. Damn mice chewed the hood foam last summer in it. I was really pissed about that
