    Finally!! This sereis allowed me to replace the track and drive cogs on my 1969 amf ski daddler! It has the exact same drive cog and track system as those skidoos.

    Love Elans. I had a 1988 250 single in Labrador. Had so much fun with it. Now I have a 1970 Olympique 12/3 which is the predecessor to the Elan.

    The appropriate video opening for this sled. If anyone gives this video a thumbs down you need to have your head examine. Good luck lifting the new sled with one arm and hitting the flipper! She's a thing of beauty, Louie! Well done, Sir.

    You bring up an excellent point about questioning why they don't make something as simple as hell and stuffl. There are enough of us out there that would purchase it compared to buying one of those new alien bug looking things!

    We had a 1976 16 hp Elan back in the 80s it was actually my mom's she rode it for years. When my brother and I got around 12 or 13 she gave it to us we had some fun on that sled here in Newfoundland.

    No problem. Louis. I’ve been watching your content for quite sometime now. Want to get into sleds myself but it’s just to expensive here on the island. Everyone thinks old sleds are worth a fortune. Even in rough shape. Lol

    I think these were a sensation in 1970-71 at about $600 USD? We sold our 318e Olympic and moved south in ‘71, never to ride again… those were some high adventure days, age 16!
