I grew up on Yamaha. The last sled we owned that was American was my dads Merc 440 (me on it).   My favorite sled where I really learned how to ride when I had enough meat on me to really start swinging it around was a Yamaha Enticer.  The first sled I bought myself was a 1985 Phazer.  My dad told be when I got a job he'd co-sign for me.  The day I turned 15 I got a work permit and a job bagging groceries...the next day we were loading my new sled up.  My dad asked, "Wouldn't you rather start saving for a car?"  NOPE!!!! :ylsuper:

Nice job on the restoration! As I recall it was amazing those sleds moved forward because the track lugs were maybe a 1/4" LOL

17" wide track and 22hp. Very rarely if ever did it spin the track. Floated pretty good but I did get stuck a couple times. Not good when you're 13 years old.NOS Viking track.jpg

Blew it up on the lake after one season.

Lol.

Young and dumb.
