Apparently they were bad as Textron neglected them for years no development. Seems like the brand is dead now unless KTM decides to buy them.Yes. All of the land toys. ATV/UTV/Snowmobile

Best be quiet about this, there a lots of snowmobile haters. If one of those folks calls the MOE, your buddy is looking at min:Whoops. A friend lost a sled in the water. Ice looked good (much further north). He was going slow and it dropped through. No opportunity to get it to stand up and pull itself out. We'll dive for it in the summer. It's in less than 100' of water. I have low hopes for saving much. It was running when it sank. He jumped off and didn't get wet. I think that was only the second or third time he was out this winter.

Careless driving charge. This is the standard fine for sinking a sled).
Environmental fines.
If he doesn’t commence an immediate recovery, a contractor gets the job - MOE treats sunken vehicles with the same zeal as a nuclear spill. 100’ you’re looking at some serious recovery costs.
The lakes in the north can be more dangerous than in southern Ontario as they have insulating snowpack that can leave sections thin to open. The also breakup fast. We had 3’ of ice on the Mattagami last Saturday, today I saw SeaDoos zipping between the floating ice.
Did a few miles today on jacked Polaris 800. First time on a hp sled in 20 years, did my first 100’ wheelie in 20 years across 6” of fresh powder.Oddly enough, I watched a YouTube video yesterday on retrieving an Argo ATV to submarine conversion on Lake Simcoe.
It was a primitive A frame rig and lots of iffy rope anchors spots. Chain saw a hole and lots of "go by feel" stuff.
In some places there are companies set up to retrieve non floating pickups in the northern US Midwest. Currents and snow cover make ice fishing a challenge.
