    Is a mini supposed to go 65mph?

    Good question... on the water, I'd say no way! But I was on the snow the other day and got going 65.7 mph and it was still climbing! I just got scared and backed it off. Just letting y'all know how...

    Re: rd2 w/ 503 rotax setup

    Hmmmm... $500 huh? We might be able to find you one up this way if you wanna experiment with it. The shipping would probably make it not worth it on a large scale, but to just try one? Maybe! I might...

    Re: rd2 w/ 503 rotax setup

    I run a 583 Rotax on mine, and it runs like a clock as well. Its water cooled so warm weather isn't a factor. The hp is amazing! A very high performance snowmobile engine will turn out more than 200...

    Re: Scooter

    I love my mini and I know my bro loves his. We can go up on the shale where the big boats won't go and we can do about anything we want to and go where we want to. I know that 2-strokes aren't the...

    Re: Trying To do it again

    Yeah, you can fabricate your own hull, thats what i did and its a 5'X12' aluminum hull. I run a 583 rotax on mine out of a snowmobile, it pushes around 85 hp. My bro runs a 443 rotax on his and gets...

    Re: Mini with a Rotax

    Thanks for the info on the clutch Spyda. That would be something to look into. As for now, I'm happy with the motor I have, its very reliable and I couldn't be happier. Mine doesn't idle so bad, it...

    Re: Mini on Ice?

    Hey! Just to give you an idea how good those Rotax motors are, my 583 started with a length of baling twine after having not been started for 10 days. A few primes and pulls and it was going. After...

    Re: Mini with a Rotax

    It must be the B box then... Yeah, its gear to gear and it doesn't rattle or idle at low rpms. I would rather get the idle down even lower than it is. It idles at 2k rpms now. The other day the rope...

    Re: Mini on Ice?

    Hey again! I would compare the 583, and I've heard others compare it the same, to a chevy 350: Reliable, durable, easy to work on, common, and all around bullet proof. If you know guys that run...

    Re: Mini on Ice?

    I know this topic has been dead for a little bit, but I've got a mini with 1/8" 5052 for the bottom but plenty of bracing in the bottom so it won't move. On the water it hauled 600 pounds of gear and...
