Hey grant! Our sleds are late 90's as well, think 98, and 99. We found that for the 3500ish bucks we paid for both of them, they suit our needs just fine!
My summit can lay a whooping on many newer sleds still, plus both of our sleds are reliable as hell, which I love!

I love vintage sleds! First sled I rode was a 440 ski roule, and my dad still has it tucked away in a shed at his place. one day when I have nothing to do I am gonna go get it and ret it running, maybe swap a 583 into it or something, maybe go with original if I can find parts for the ol sachs engine.
Its past my bedtime all ready but for some reason I cant seem to fall asleep!

I'm beat too. I may have found my second wind. Sheldon, talking about sled's, that's how I met my wife. My best bud and a Sub Zero Hero's wife worked in the same office as my wife. One day my buddy's wife was in the cafeteria and overheard this girl talking about jetting sled's. My buddy's wife say's to her: you ride? she say's yes, I ride Yamaha's. Well my buddy's wife say's, Boy have I got a guy for you, are you with someoneWell the next day she tell's me this and say's, Invite her to our buddy's wedding social. I've never met or seen her, so another buddy, who's a contracter in her building leaves a picture of me and a social ticket on her computer say's, you really have to go and meet this guy. It was june 22nd, 1984, we met on a blind date, talked sled's all night, and the rest is history. I could write a book about this.

Thats a really cool story Grant!
I met my wife at a bar, was gonna try for a one night stand but she kept tracking me down haha.
Story might be tweaked a wee bit!
Have you always been a yamaha guy? I have been kinda looking for a used 4 stroker with a 136 or maybe 144 track on it. I hear ya can really get those sleds going fast!
Only concern for me is weight, cause I do ride a lot of "off road" kinda riding (opposed to trails and hills and whatnot)
