so i sold my 2000 trail boss 325 last summer and went all winter without a ride(worst winter ever!!) so tax money is floating around and i want something bigger like a scrambler 500 but i was looking around and found an 08 sportsman 300 4x4 for a really good price...im wondering what you guys think, would i notice a power difference from my old trail boss? some reviews said the sportsman 300 is a mid sized chassis, was my trail boss mid sized or full sized chassis?....i was thinking of getting this deal and riding it till someone wants to trade me for like a 2000 or newer scrammy 500...

 

Just my two cents,but it was one of the lower selling machines at our shop.Here's a comparison between the 300 and the 500. 2008 Polaris Sportsman® 300 ATVs You might call it a Hawkeye with different decals.

 

found a scrammy 500 with a fresh top end, picking it up around 130 ta heck with the 300 will post pics when i get her

 

The 325 Trail Boss was a mid chassis as well. 2008 Polaris Sportsman® 300 ATVs

Looks like the Sportsman 300 is just a renamed Hawkeye 300 2008 Polaris Sportsman® 300 ATVs

The bad boy Hawkeye was the Sportsman 400H.O it was the same mid size chassis but with the 455cc motor shoe horned into it with bigger 24" tires. http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/en...e2=55638&go=Go other then that the same machine.

 

besides more power, is the scrambler going to feel much different than the trail boss

 

I would think not, the scrambler has a lot more power and taller suspension but very similar dimensions .

The 500 Scrambler is AWD so it sure will be harder to get stuck. 2000 Polaris Trail Boss 325 ATVs 70lbs more weight due to the 4wd front drivetrain and larger motor.

 

130 cant come soon enough!
