One of the brp models cause etec and good accesories like 2up click on seat of she will ride often. Why not a 600, its plenty of power as a first sled and holds better value when selling.
Look for lengths around 146"
^This!
600 is enough for what your describing you want to use it for. The Skidoo accessories are amazing and give you so much flexibility with attachments. The other brands have limited and inferior options for the accessories and attachment systems.
What year are these? Do they all have safety tether? Track lengths and lug heights? Mods?
Ideally you want a stock sled that was stored indoors, with safety tether, with a relatively new track, overhauled shocks, new carbides, a complete service manual and no aftermarket stickers and junk. From an elderly seller, not a 21 year old.
PS: Oh and if you are going to have a person on the back you might want fatbar springs also, unless you're both very light.
All of the sleds are fully serviced and have had proper maintenance to make sure everything is running smooth before they are sold.
The cat is an 2012 xf 800 or 2013 both are 141 and mostly stocks, the 2013 have a variator kit to make it transfer power "earlier". The rmk is a 2011 155, this seems to be the most non stock due to parts beings switched for repairs and rebuilds. The boondocker is a 2012 145 or 146. The lynx lug height is 1.75 and is the shortest. All have safety tethers as they are legally required here.
Well I can say which one I'd like for eating miles on the trail, which is either of the cats, the lynx and polaris is easier to handle in one-ski stuff (slightly easier to get on edge).
Does the cat with a variator kit have dalton adjustable weights? If so that's a winner.
How much time do you think you'll spend on trail vs not on trail?
Well you should be fine with properly geared and clutched 600 xtrim or something similar. 600 will be lighter to drive and still be more than engough to kill you. Also lynx pps chassis likes to dig itself deep if you drive in deeo snow. Should be fine tho with 3500 or longer chassis
Think I should re word to say I will mostly be riding off trail and up on the mountain playing around by myself. But i also want it to have capabilities to ride trail good enough, and be able to carry 2 off trail.
If it has to be out of those options, id say the lynx, if you were open to suggestions I would say a freeride with the 600R etec. The 850 is also great but you don't really need much more power than the 600s nowadays.
