4stroked Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi Sled friends, I am looking to upgrade my wife's sled & my chief sled guru Grumpysanta has steered me to a 80 hp 4 stroke stretched Phazer. My choices are to stay 4 stroke & either get a backup for my 2014 GSX 1200 or tone it down & get something with more flexibility. If you've ever tried a Venture Lite or MP, I'd love to get your thoughts on it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600IQHO Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 If you want to stay 4 stroke and tone it down a little you cant get any better than a Doo 900ACE. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stroked Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you but pricing is a little different. 2007 Venture Lite with 5000 kms is $2700. I haven't seen an Ace 900 for under $ 8000 because they are newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcstar Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 OK, you never mentioned used, that is why Dave mentioned the 900 Ace. that is low mileage for a 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stroked Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sorry about that Dave. My budget for the 2nd sled was $3,000 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt_bluyamaha54 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sounds like a very good price where you almost can't lose. Most of you know I am a Yamaha guy but I won't comment on the Venture Lite b/c I don't have any experience with that model and I unfortunately don't know anyone who has one. I would offer that you do some research on ty4stroke.com as there is lots of good info there. (I CAN say that that engine is close to bullet-proof though.)

4stroked Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks everybody. ended up at $2500 today. It was dirty & needed a bumper, skis were finished. Put some skis on from my buddy Dave & cleaned her up. checked levels & took it for a ride. Wow, got her up t 115 kms / hr. torque pulls nice very comfy & now turns like butter. Thanks to Dave & Grumpy Santa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
