Approach just as if you were buying a new car. Do your research, test drive any and all that you might be interested in and pick the one you like best.

 

I think the manufacturers are nuts to build ATV's designed to go under water. Yes, I drive my Arctic Cats thru deep mud , but I certainly wouldn't blame AC if one gulped water and hydrolocked. Vehicles that have been under water are generally called "flood damaged". I know a few guys that put very low cold air intakes on their Dodge hemis and bitched when they hydrolocked. When I was in the Army, the Jeeps that we had were totally built to go under water, spark plugs, ignition, air intake were truly waterproof, but also a pita to work on.

 

Yeah, I almost forgot that this thread was started about an Arctic Cat Mudpro that sucked water into the engine. One little leak and that snorkel is useless. I'm guessing that the other 2 manufacturers that design machines to do the same, Polaris and Can-Am, would have a similar response if a customer sucks water into the engine. Deep water crossings should be avoided whenver possible, even if you have a snorkel. Once the water gets deep enough, the current can sweep you away even if you have a good snorkel and you can drown.

 

uggg... I guess boredom set in?

 

Gotta keep threads like this alive.. We guys are as bad as gossipy old women but won't admit it..

 

At least its not an 8 year old thread brought back to life like some I've seen on here. The original poster many times has long since disappeared.

 

first mistake was going to Oakwood there best machanic left years ago

 

Don't blame the factory on lack of service - only the dealer can provide service.
