Anyone here that can help me identify what year any of these are would be much appreciated. Ski-doo, Bombardier, and a Yamaha Bravo. All made prior to 1985, I believe.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    If it isn't 1979, it's close enough. Thanks.

    The Yamaha is late 80s. The Bomardier is early 70s.

    Date of manufacture should be stamped into tunnel or on attached tag riveted to tunnel.

    The Bravo is an 87-90 model.

    Those are good machines just not fast.

    Thanks, I will look there. I searched most of the engine compartment for it.[B)]

    All true. It's not helping that during transport the windscreen ripped off (had it backwards on the trailer.[B)]) It's the only one I think I can get running of the three. I have replaced the starter puller on the Ski-doo. It has good spark but won't pop, even with starting fluid, so I'm a bit at a loss on that one. Haven't worked on the Bombardier at all yet, but I know I was able to get it to pop once last time I tried it, so maybe. The Bravo has a kill switch part that I am waiting for, but it should run. It's not fast or pretty but it is light and can go many places a heavier sled can not.

    Those look like the ones they make open water racers out of.

    They strip all the body parts and stuff off of them, and race in circles on open water in the summer. Buoy tide to a rope that's tied to them to winch them out when they sink.
