Dad picked up this machine used in the summer of 2021, it had low mileage, full dealer service history and just about every OEM accessory you can find for these machines, all outlined above!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the fall of 2023 he had this dandy soft rear cargo enclosure custom made. It consists of an aluminum frame which was then covered in a custom made soft material with the front and rear panels being clear to maintain visibility.

 

 

 

This greatly increases cargo capacity and keeps everything dry and free of dust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

November 9 2021: Loaded up for the first trip to Indian Bay with the new whip!

 

 

February 12, 2022: No snow winter trouting near Whitbourne.

 

 

 

 

January 13, 2023: Conception Bay North snow ride with the crew!

 

 

 

 

June 17, 2023: Rescue requested! Check out the full story when I helped rescue dad after he sunk the Commander.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April 12, 2024: Broken tie rod end bolt. Dad recently had the tie rod ends replaced with All Balls aftermarket parts and was frustrated when one of the main bolts snapped! Thankfully his buddy came in with a replacement bolt and had the machine back on the trail in short order using Dad's onboard tool kit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April 22, 2024: Trip to the backwoods camp to install a tribute to Dad's late buddy Kevin King.

 

Cheers, MIKE
