Hi,
I know someone locally who's selling a 2004 Viper Mountain. Then I started thinking about the Mountain Max 700.
What's the difference between the two sleds?
Cheers.

Both are the proaction platform with the viper being the same engine as the short track viper with the mountain max having the non powervalve engine and the older bodywork.Both good moutain sleds, some guys have said the mountain max has a lighter feel, but I can't say from firsthand experience.

2004 Mountain Max 700
Ride the high country.
Side-hilling. Boondocking. Back-country exploring with family and friends. Whatever your idea of favorite mountain riding happens to be, there’s one sled that does it all, delivering dependable, easy-handling deep-snow performance suited to everything from fresh powder to rough terrain: the Mountain Max 700.
Featuring Yamaha[font="]’[/font]s strong, liquid-cooled, single-pipe triple with broad, usable power and crisp throttle response.
An exclusive 141" x 2" Deep Snow special track wrapped around long-travel, ProAction Mountain rear suspension. Lightweight plastic skis.
And special, mountain-sled must-haves like anti-slip siderails, handlebar strap and a tapered tunnel.
The Mountain Max 700. Built to get you out there[font="] [/font]and back.
Available in Dark Blue Metalic.
Manufacturer's Sugg. Retail Price... $7,399*
Performance:
Lightweight triple-cylinder engines have many advantages over competitive twins: superior throttle response, broader powerband, improved fuel economy, smoother operation and better durability. Case-reed valve induction system and flat-slide carburetors optimize engine performance and throttle response. Industry-leading liquid-heated carburetors maintain excellent fuel economy.
Deep Snow Handling:
Exclusive 141-inch track design with 2-inch lugs and a 7-bar repeating pattern provides both superior deep snow flotation and traction. ProAction Mountain rear suspension design offers gradual approach angle and excellent weight transfer to deliver superior deep snow flotation and hill climbing performance. Tapered tunnel and lightweight rear and running board heat exchangers increase snow clearance and deep snow function. Mountain handlebar strap on high handlebars enhances leverage in deep snow and while side-hilling. Narrow 38.6-inch ski stance for side-hilling and maneuverability. Rear footstep with grips allows the driver to position his weight towards the rear of the machine for superior hill climbing and side-hilling performance. Exhaust deflector for "no bogging" during sidehilling or when in deep snow.
[font="]Comfort & Convenience:[/font][font="]
Industry-leading ProAction Mountain long-travel rear suspension has 11.5 inches of true, useable travel, providing the best ride quality on a mountain sled. Exclusive single-point, Quick-Adjust rear suspension allows the rider to quickly adjust both effective shock damping and spring rates to suit their riding style. Flat front footrests and floorboard grips allow the driver to easily stand up and allow easy movement. Large capacity fuel and oil tanks extend time between fill-ups, crucial when in the mountains. Dual headlight design and high output magneto (300W) provide excellent nighttime visibility. Thirty percent brighter than competitors' best headlamp design. Exclusive 360-degree indexed spark timing provides stronger spark and more consistent performance than the competitionThe finest hydraulic brake system in snowmobiling requires just one-finger effort and provides a progressive feel. Exclusive separate mechanical parking brake for peace of mind when stopped on steep slopes. [/font]

2004 SXViper Mountain
Invigorating, like a breath of thin air. Got a mountain to climb? We've got your sled. Our SXViper Mountain has the perfect combination of power, flotation and agility to get you where you want to go. It climbs through bottomless powder, across steep hillsides and cross-country into uncharted terrain.
Our latest-generation Power-Valved triple cylinder engine spins out a broad, deep powerband and now with even greater reliability, thanks to our New Detonation Control System.
A 144" x 2" Camoplast track lays down a big footprint. Deep-keel skis set at a narrow, 38.6-inch stance and high handlebars with mountain strap make steep hillsides feel like a drive though the park.
The SXViper Mountain delivers the looks, too, in its aerodynamic bodywork, cat-eye headlights and LCD cockpit. Onward and upward.
Available in Heat Red.
Manufacturer's Sugg. Retail Price... $7,949*
