John Deere ski- boose
I bought a ski-boose about two months ago for the kids. After a little work on the appearance it is finally finished.

Thanks Dave. I still need to get the right mounting brackets for the windshield to complete it. The sled pulling it is my oldest daughters Bravo 250.(she is on the left in the pictures)

Dave,
I like it. I'm going to have to take a project like that on myself one of these days. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't those Yamaha Bravo's have a one piece cylinder and head? I always thought that was kind of bizzare.
Nice work,
Robb

Thanks for the kind words guys! Made about 300 trips around the yard on the weekend with eight kids (not all mine)
:eek: It pulls nice and you don't even notice you have it hooked to the sled.
