Best year Sportsman for Build-Up?
i would say 2002. no plastic steering bushing, 500HO motor, something about good and strong u or cv joints, huge 5.25 gal fuel tank, nice looking front end and graphics.
Green/Yellow/Red/Remmington(mossy-oak) and Duck's Edition (wetlands). GREAT color palet!
2002 would be my vote. excellent year!

Thanks all.
Cointoss.......I considered this, but I was thinking of just putting some serious armor on a newer bike and just beefing the clutch somewhat.
I use my 800 and my wife uses her 700 for almost 90% on trail riding and dont want to beat the s**t out of them. What I want is a third machine that I can ride and break and still have another machine to ride while I fix my off-trail machine.
I have been researching this and it looks like I could almost buy a new 500EFI here locally for what I would put in a 2-3 year old machine including the cost of purchase. I may just buy a local bike here..............a friend of mine has a 2005 700 EFI with 20 hours on it and he will let me have it for $5000-$5500; this bike has armor, winch etc. so this may be a way to go. I still like the idea of the 500 though.........solid and fuel efficient (compared to the 700-800).
Thanks again for the reponses.......gave me something to ponder!!!!!
