Snowdog information

[Oceanpro 220]

So me and a buddy are finally going to pull the trigger. We think we have decided on the reverse model.

Has anyone purchased one recently? If so did they give you good pricing? Or just price that is on Snowdog website?

Looks like the only dealer in Utah is in Orem. Has anyone seen anything different than that?

We are considering 2 of the sleds and maybe the handle bar mits and a seat for one of the sleds.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and happy fishing to all.

Used mine for two seasons now.  I bought the bigger one with the reverse,  which I would advise buying.  The dealer was in Murray
then.   No deals, just paid the price.
Snowmobiles go faster but they are a lot bigger and they get stuck badly.   I've never had the Snowdog not be able to climb
out of the hole it was in.  I just step out off the sled and help it a little.  They can climb about anything, I don't even use a ramp
to put it in the trailer, it just climbs right in.
Studding the track would be nice if you're on smooth ice, because they don't a lot of weight for traction.
I sit on a square Igloo cooler in the sled.  Fits just right, is just the right height for handle bar controls and you can put a lot of
stuff inside and it doesn't freeze.
Normally I pull three sleds, besides the one rigidly attached to the Snowdog, with the other fishermen sitting in their sled.   I use
a long strap, probably 35 feet, with a super heavy duty bungee cord I made for a shock absorber going to the first towed sled.
That sled also has a quick disconnect that the rider can pull,  should I go through the ice.  You just never know, but you'll lose
everything and everybody if you're close and can't disconnect.
Staying farther back also keeps the following sled from getting caked by powder snow.
About the only thing that I don't like is that the engine won't start without choking when cold.  Mine doesn't have a handle bar
cable, so I have to get off, choke it, and then get off again to unchoke the engine after going a short distance.  Maybe a remote choke would be an option now.
Haven't heard about all the licensing requirements for a Snowdog yet.  As far as I know nothing is required in Utah. Wyoming didn't know and didn't know what a Snowdog was, but the fish and game officer was really interested in it.  Idaho requires a snowmobile sticker.
