so last year we did a snowmobile poker run here on the river that hits a few of the boatclubs we frequent in the summer. At one of the stops and a few beers in i looked at my friend John and said we need to build something different for the 2010 run. well out came the bar napkins and pencils and this is what we came up with. I picked up a Ski-Doo Escapade (from Packinairs fleet) and we got a doaner boat from a local yard and went monster garage on this thing. First there was Chip Foose and Overhaulin' . . . . . . we have KEELHAULIN' 
Not only are we coast guard compliant with full nav and 360 lighting but we are also Michigan trails compliant with headlights, tail and break lights. All dash gauges function as well as steering wheel works the front skis. It actually does about sixty but with all ice and no snow it was a handfull. Track was fully studed (thanks to 2TrickRick) but we removed the rear skis carbides thinking the they would fight the front ones, gonna putt those back on and see how it works, she spins out pretty easy if your not a head of it. First test drive was Friday and the poker run was sunday. Went great and this thing was a hit wherever we went. Pretty much stole the show . . . .ahhhh the shameless art of self promotion
