The All New
Polaris Ranger RZR 800

2011 Polaris 800 Rush

Polaris makes the base Rush
stronger and quicker.

Let’s not kid anyone, we like what Polaris has done with the 2011 Rush. From a single model in 2010, there’s a fleet of them for 2011. And that’s not counting the “Rush-like” crossover and mountain models with the Rush front end and extended length tunnels and tracks. Still there is only one true Rush with the outside the skid frame rear shock.
We had a bit of trouble accepting Polaris’ total Rush hyperbole in its inaugural season as a sled for all reasons. Yeah, yeah it was good, but in its sole mockup, we couldn’t see it as both a full-fledged mogul basher AND a smooth mile maker. In reality, apparently, neither could Polaris. Read More---->

The Ranger RZR 800 got a power boost in 2011 and now pumps out 55 ponies. It also gets new trail-friendly rear rack extenders that offer as much as 60 percent more cargo capacity in the bed. Hunters will appreciate the new Polaris Pursuit Camouflage pattern.

We loved the Ranger RZR S 800 when we first saw it in 2009, but it was an expensive unit. Polaris wanted to bring the price down for 2011 so the costly Fox Podium X reservoir shocks were ditched in exchange for some beefy new Sachs shocks that have a two-inch bore but lack much of the adjustability. You'll still be able to get the Fox shocks on limited edition RZR S models, but you’ll have to pay premium.

Also new on the RZR S are ITP 900 XCT tires. The new tires were built for high-performance, cross country trail riding, and feature a knobby, aggressive tread pattern than Polaris claims offers even more impressive cornering ability
than the Maxxis Bighorn tires that adorned the 2010 model. With all the changes the 2011 RZR S ($12,499) comes in $1,500 cheaper than the 2010 version.

Feature Item
Ranger RZR 4 800
Black and red edition.
$14,399

Introduced as a late 2010 model, the Ranger RZR 4 800 was the first multi-passenger sport Side-by-Side and the industry’s only four-seat, high performance machine. For 2011, the RZR 4 800 will be available with a power steering option. The RZR 4 comes in an awesome looking painted black and red edition, as well as the blue and white model featuring Robby Gordon-inspired graphics (EPS only).

I just put a new water impeller in my boat 2 years ago. It is not pumping water again. Is this common, as my neighbor says he hasn’t changed his in years.

John S.

John,

It is common that they do last much longer than that, however Mercury recommend that you replace your water pump annually. The number one thing that causes the water pump going out early is running it out of the water. Make sure you start your boat motor when it is in the water or on muffs if on the land.

Hi folks, It has been a while since we have posted a fishing report, very busy selling season for us here.

Fishing has slowed a bit on Houghton Lake in the last 3 weeks, the water temp got to 86 degrees and shut the walleyes down a bit. We have been getting 1-2 keeper walleye each time out with 8-10 bonus jumbo bluegill or sunfish in the 9-10" range. We have went to a plain red hook with a leech or a crawler, seems like they biting a little lighter right now.

Higgins Lake is giving up a few Lake Trout, guys are vertical jigging for the white fish and getting some nice eater size fish.

Got a nice report from Lake St. Helen last week, one of my customers is getting some nice gills casting a small spinner with a crawler, didn't get the location from him.

Good fishing!
