Hey Bill !... At least I got the legs to wear a outfit like that ,unlike someone else I know !!! Rumor has it that your wife has been calling you "Baggy Butt" behind your back for years :moon: :yum: :yum: :yum:
 
Big Al , This reminds me , a couple years back I bought a small travel trailer I think it was called a Scamp or Skamp. It was about 13' long and is shaped somewhat like your Kristi. I had planned on building a set of Skis that would bolt on after I had towed it to Alaska and then tow it to my cabin with the Imp. Turned out my friend that I bought it from did not have the title, so he gave me my money back. Had even though about a couple trap doors in the floor for ice fishing. During the winter the plan was to tow it out to a good hunting spot and leave it there for the next hunting season.
You might see if you could find one of these little trailers on ebay or craigs list somewhere. they are really light weight I think less than 1000# Takes all the fun of building from scratch away and supresses all those inventive artistic skills, but it is quick and usefull. Byron

That is actually a great idea. The Scamp was sold in at least 2 sizes. There was also a 16' model. I tried to buy one about 20 years ago but it got sold before I got to it! :(

They were very lightweight, reasonably well built small campers and probably would work well as a shell for Al's project. It would not be a big project to cut the windows out to enlarge them and install larger units. The frame is already under it and that would provide a good place to mount skis and since it is already framed up with wheels, you have a pretty good idea of where the balance point is located too!

HERE is a link to the trailer I believe Byron mentioned.

There are 2 on e-bay and current bids are in the mid $2000 range.
 
PS.

From the trailer mfgr's web page http://www.scamptrailers.com/

"Due to a recent fire at the plant, we are in the process of cleaning up and rebuilding. Thank you for your patience. Please call with any questions."

I wonder if they may have a fire sale of some of their trailers. :confused2:
 
You Know ,
That is a pretty neat idea . I have seen a few of those in my travels ,but completely forgot about them until you mentioned it .
My main interest is to build a compartment to provide extra room for more passengers . I also want lots and lots of windows . I figure that if I use this to take people through the Elk Herds in Elk City where I feed the Elk . I would need lots of windows added .The weight sure would be better . Big fat ski's might even work fine .
I was just looking at the tow capacity of my KT4 and it is considered a 3/4 ton in the spec's . Its PSI footprint is a little heavier than a KT7 . .86PSI vs 47PSI . With the change over to a diesel motor ,that I am planning for the KT4 ,I do believe it could handle the added towing weight of the sled .
 
I saw this one for sale some time ago. Looks to be the same concept you are going for.

:applause: SweGus . . . You know, the neat thing about that one is that it skis attach via a "wheel mount" attached to the standard axle so, at least in theory, you could just unbolt the wheel mounted ski assembly, bolt on a set of road tires for use in the summer or on a roadway. Then when you get to the snow, simply switch back to the skis.

BigAl . . . this is also proof that the Snow Trac can haul a trailer. Not sure that a Kristi could haul a trailer that big :5boobs:
 
I too like that setup.

Bob, since there's a license plate on that trailer, I think the conversion to tires is exactly what's being done.

A couple things I'm scratching my head on though.:confused2:
If the hubs are free to turn, if you go over a steep hill or into ravine (or whetever where the trailer tongue goes at a steep up/down motion), would the skis hit the bottom of the trailer?

How do the brakes work? :hide:

I did look closely at that thinking the same.

I'm "thinking" that's an extra lift to get the ski over logs or rocks. If it were a brace or stop, it should also have one in the rear.

I suspect the skis could hit the bottom of the trailer if you dragged it into a ravine, but I also question the ability to pull it back up a steep ravine! I think the key to pulling something like this with a small snowcat (KT7, ST4, IMP or similar) would be moderate inclines and declines and staying out of deep powder conditions too.

There is obviously something there. Perhaps the front of the ski has a guard to prevent a log or heavy branch from going over the ski and getting stuck? You would not want anything like a branch, limb or fallen log to end up snagging the ski by going over the top of it in deep/semi-deep snow. Take a look at the sled below from Aktiv. You can see the front of the ski is attached to a pivoting arm which in turn attaches to the front of the sled. It would keep objects from going over the ski and snagging the trailer.

I didn't take any offense, but I sure hope I didn't offend you either. That was not my intenet. In fact, I thought your observation was a good one and I was agreeing with you and trying to provide some extra information. Sorry if I came off as arrogant. I am often blunt.

Actually Bob that Snot Trac was broke down and the Kristi Tow driver took the picture as a Kristi ,once again , came to save the day .
Good God Bob ! Your going to have to start getting up early if you even remotely think you can "out insult" me !!!:moon:
 
Hey Al,

What about this?

Ski Doo Ski Boose Snowmobile Sleigh Trailer Tow Behind

Rare vintage Ski Doo Ski Boose Mark III made in Canada by Bombardier. My guess is that it was built sometime in the mid 1970's. Considering its age, this sleigh is in very good condition, as the photographs show. The plastic has cracked around several rivets holding the front cowl to the tub, as you can see in one of the pictures. The rear seat back rivets are all in tact. . The seat is in good condition and doesn't have any rips, cracks, or tears. The windeshield is in good condition, without any cracks. There are normal wear and tear scratches all around, inside and out, of the metal tub. There are two dents in the tub where the ski tips hit if the hitch tongue isn't supported when the sleigh is disconnected from the snowmobile. There is one square orange reflector missing on the left side, and one square red reflector missing from the rear. Leaf springs, skis, and tongue are all in fine working order; she is structurally sound. With a little TLC, this Ski Boose could look brand new! This is a rare find, especially in such good condition. Seating is perfect for two or three children, or one adult and one child. The kids love it!​

Looks cool if you can get across country to pick it up!!

Vance
