Will do snrub...because of the batteries I am trying to get a newer one. The used one on Craigslist is a 2018. Would an electric UTV even have a "plastic air cleaner box"? I dunno?

wbuffetjr....I wondered about that...if I could add seating to the rear box just when needed that might work. Sounds like it works for you.

I would also consider Yamaha UTV line. I've found that most rental companies that offer UTV tours default to Honda for the reliability. I would strongly recommend researching and exploring all of the options on a purchase this large.


Thanks KRM....I've always been a fan of "anything Honda". Being in the delivery business over 30 years....I hate to say it because I like to "buy American", but the delivery drivers that drive Toyotas and Honda's are almost never out with car repairs. However I wonder if any of the brands you mentioned as maybe being a better choice than Polaris offer an electric model UTV? I am really wanting electric for stealth reasons and because what I will use it for....electric has plenty of power and I only ride for maybe an hour max and then give it a rest...so I wont need hours and hours of power that a gas motor can provide.

Fishing has never been about the fish....
