1997 Ski Doo Mach 1

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Get it back in good condition, and make it faster.

What motivated you to start your project?

Always loved triples. This was my dads sled when I was a little kid. He sold it, and it had been through a few other owners. Found the sled, and it was in rough shape.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

Extended the suspension, and track to 136″.

What are you most proud of?

Finding the sled that I loved when I was a kid.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

It’s old.
