I went through the new sled decision this time last year. I went to the sportsman shows and boat show. The toughest thing i found is that there are a lot of good sleds and a few great ones. Someof the sled are great but thier price is not, I ended up buying a North River , quality, options and then price where the reasons why. I test drove 5 different brands and it was not an easy choice. I agree forget the sport jet if your going to carry a load. Good luck e-mail me if you want to talk further.
