Wow! What a find. I have been wanting to get hold of a Bravo for years. Even though I have never owned one, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I am sure it is well gone by now, but I would have definitely been interested in that one. Man, there was soooo much good stuff in there. If I had the room (and money) I would probably scarf up a few of those old beasts. Love the older sleds.
@@3gsgarage117 It is a shame that it is getting so difficult to find fully intact Bravos anymore. I really wish they shill made them. Just something special about banging around on an old school one-lunger.😂
I had one 15 yrs ago and it was great, so fun and good for the kids, i sold it off and regret it badly, cant find another good one unkess i pay way to much
@@sendit1158 I recently picked up a really fun little sled, a Yamaha Inviter. Had a blast on it during the one week of winter we had. I know what you mean about the pricing. Just goes to show that people still want these kinds of machines. I just wish someone still made simple one lunger sleds yet. I think there is still a place for them, even in today's world.
That’s awesome!! What a trip looking at all those old school sleds. It’s better than a museum if ya ask me. You struck gold buddy. Good choice you made without taking it all lol. Stick with what ya know.
Nice I would love to get my hands-on an old Enticer I've been looking for the last 20 years for a clean one. The red one you have in there that's the sled I had as a child And you know you're always chasing things that you had as a child that brought you enjoyment.
Awesome find man! First the SRX's and now these, lucky dog. You picked the two best sleds out of the bunch for sure. That '80 is beautiful. I'd be proud to own it. If you ever wanted to part ways with it I'd be interested. I'm on the other side of the pond from you. The '78 looks pretty good too. If you got her running good you could probably get around $1200 bucks out it, but you probably already know that. Thanks for sharing this video.
I know, I couldn't believe when he told me he had 100 vintage sleds!! Almost couldn't sleep 😀. $1200 was exactly the number I was calling that 78 at when I get it running. Thanks for watching!!
I bought 89 yam ovation 340 $50 last year in great condition because he couldn’t get it started. I just need to carb clean first and Alaska deal I probably ever get like that😂
They're out there yet!! We fixed up our first ever ovation for this coming season to use as a vintage trail rider. Eager to see how it is to ride compared to the old Enticers which share the same engine. Thanks for watching!!
Nice score on the viper! Not sure if you got the dash to go, need 12 volts and a ground to get it to read, it should have a ECU that would need to be powered to read the dash unless they did not put them in those models. Filming was great, but at times the camera needed to slow down!
If that is the dairy barn near Kohler, WI I’ve been in there and it is amazing. There was a nice Moto-Ski Sonic in there that I was drooling over. Unbelievable collection. This was probably 15 years ago.
This was up in Bonduel WI. You definitely have my attention though. Dairy barn near Kohler?? Wonder who owns that and if there is still sleds there?? Thanks for watching!!
You should’ve kept one of the srx 440s and put the liquid cooled motor in the 78 exciter! Chop down the windshield and black it out, then hang on! Sleeper sled…My father bought a 78 srx brand new and I remember the night he brought it home as clear as day. That sled was “ The King” in our area for years right up until the Indy 650 came out. Then I bought a 95 Vmaxx 800 new piped it studded it and…. It was the new king. Love my Yamahas. Can’t believe they are going out of the snowmobile business.
Does anybody even realize how bad ass Rupp would be today if they could have survived. More than likely fast as hell and mean looking. Think about it: 2023 Rupp 850, turbo, EFI, Sno=Pro. Whooop, Whhhoooooop!
That would be so cool! It would be neat even if one of the current manufacturers got the rights to build a modern tribute to a company like Rupp. Maybe some day. Thanks for watching!!
A couple of nice Yammies. I'm surprised by the number of Evinrude and Johnsons. I work a few doors down from where they were built. It's a plastic car parts factory now.
Nothing is running is as far as I know. He's outside of Bonduel WI, and from what I understand there will be an auction this coming spring of 2024. Thanks for watching!
I only grabbed the two exciters, so everything else you see was still there some months back when we were there. They could all be yours!! Thanks for watching!

Yeah it was crazy! We took a good look at the bravo and quite a bit of it had been dismantled. We've always liked those as well. Thanks for watching!!

The first sled I purchased was a 76' Arctic Cat Jag 2000. Black hood, Gray graphics, free air. Right in the same vintage as your sleds. Good times.
Awesome! So many great sleds and things going on in snowmobiling back in that era. Must've been a great time!
What a find, however I didn't see any RUPP's in that find. Yes. I'm an old Rupp guy along with my son.
Rupp Yankee 340 at 2:32
I'm from Greenland, this drop my jaw!!!

Thanks a lot for watching man!! Got a basement full of old yamaha parts, and definitely stick to what I know best lol!!
Love it, I would love a few of those Scorpions, has he sold them all?

Absolutely! The same reason I still drive the same make/model car my parents bought new when I was 10 years old. Thanks for watching!!
Look like there is an arctic cat Z 340 or 440 😳 Wish he had a 77 or 78 SRX. Great find guys.
I don't know my cats but I wouldn't be surprised! Thanks for watching!
i had a "78 exciter in high school, great machine!
Yes sir!! Awesome little sleds! Thanks for watching!

Sooo sick they’re all beauts
Yeah! It was so cool to see them all. Thanks for watching!!

I’m looking my first sled
It was a late 70s merc 340 trail twister I’m pretty sure there was one in that bunch
By the time i could say wheres the Chapparall? there it was.
Awesome looking sleds
Thanks! We were thrilled to find these. Thanks for watching!!
Where are these sleds located

Thanks much for the input! Got the things we wanted off the viper and sent her down the road. Appreciate the comment!!

Maybe someday we'll do a sled build like that! It would be fun to have a real sleeper. Thanks for watching!!
Sno Prince that single lunger against the wall.
That’s crazy
Yeah, it was a trip for sure! Thanks for watching!
Does anybody even realize how bad ass Rupp would be today if they could have survived.
More than likely fast as hell and mean looking.
Think about it:
2023 Rupp 850, turbo, EFI, Sno=Pro.
Whooop, Whhhoooooop!
That would be so cool! It would be neat even if one of the current manufacturers got the rights to build a modern tribute to a company like Rupp. Maybe some day. Thanks for watching!!
Love me some chrome skis!
A couple of nice Yammies. I'm surprised by the number of Evinrude and Johnsons. I work a few doors down from where they were built. It's a plastic car parts factory now.
I was surprised by the number of them as well. The guy must've had a thing for those. Cool! Thanks for watching!
Lucky to beat Larry to that enticer
insane
It was super cool to walk through there and see all those old units. Thanks for watching!
Man you don’t know how bad I’d like to put a concrete pad around the shop on the outside as well for running a fork lift
,,,,Dream barn...........holy cats,,,(get the eltigre)😮...or,buy all....
I wish we could've grabbed them all, but unfortunately barely have room for the ones we took. Thanks for watching!!
Hi sir can you tell me if you saw any bombardier sled or skiroule sled... thank you and a great catch.
I honestly can't recall. I'd have to go back and carefully watch the video. Thanks for watching!
Cool sleds you.picked up
Where is guy from? Did he have any nice cat stuff?
Thanks! He is from Bonduel WI. Nothing really rare or interesting I didn't think. All the stuff had been sitting for a long time.
Nice racer on the lift it’s the SRX 433?
Does he have any more running snowmobiles left and whereabouts is this guy
Nothing is running is as far as I know. He's outside of Bonduel WI, and from what I understand there will be an auction this coming spring of 2024. Thanks for watching!
Any Mercs in that lot? That would be a great find.
The was at least 1, but no twisters. Honestly not many really sought after gems in there... Thanks so much for watching!!
Where are these sleds located? Interested in some.
Bonduel Wisconsin
Did you aquire any Chaparral SSX 440's? I'm interested in one.
No, sorry. We only took the 2 exciters and the viper home. Thanks for watching though!
I was Looking for a BLUEMAX Speedway 650 or any RUPP Nitro's 72 and up.
Holy Sleds
Thanks for watching!!
@@3gsgarage117 happy to watch
I am looking for a 78 Yamaha Exciter 440 that dad had what would you take for it
Where are you from?
@@3gsgarage117 I am in Georgia but from Michigan looking to move back to Michigan
I'm asking $1250
@@3gsgarage117 ok thanks
Go back and grab that TNT!!!
Viper is an 02 the first year. All vipers are 700cc. Venoms were 600s
Thanks!!
Sno Prince, Boa Ski
I thought that might be a boa ski! Thanks!!
Oh! Dear Lord Almighty!
Yeah man! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to fire a comment out there!!
That black exciter was my first sled. I’d like to buy it and run it with my kids if you want to sell it? I’ll take the drive.
I think I'm going to keep her at this point, and run it a time or two up north on the trails. I'll keep you posted if I decide to sell it.
See any Polaris TX?
No sir. I would've made a move on one of those if there was! Thanks for watching!
i spotted a massy Ferguson ski whiz
Yep, good eye! Thanks for watching!!
Give Larry a call on the enticer
I would but I don't want him to see the 10 others we have laying around lol! Thanks for watching!!
okay i need to buy a forklift
Yeah, I questioned if I really needed it when I bought it, but it has been super handy and I think I'll always have one. Thanks for watching!!
Please comment to me on which ones you are going to let me have?
I only grabbed the two exciters, so everything else you see was still there some months back when we were there. They could all be yours!! Thanks for watching!
Oh a Inviter CF 300 whats not a massproducet sled.
