2009 skandic wt 550fan, my go to sled for the last 5 years never misses a beat and has both electric and pull start. I’ve never had an issue with the electric start battery wise, I’d never own a sled with out pull start again. Especially when I usually ice fish alone, I had a four stroke before....dead battery and your screwed might as well set it on fire and send help smoke signals.
In my opinion 2 strokes are easier to maintain fill the fuel and oil and go.... no expensive filters or oil. Especially if they tend to sit for a few weeks at a time.
And they start at -40 no problem, Yamaha 4 strokes are useless below -15
The 20 inch wide track floats over flood water and ruts and the fan engine needs even less maintenance than a liquid cooled.
