Well was he ever happy when I pulled this one out of the trailer and then told him it was his!:party: About the cleanest straightest Enticer I have ever seen in unrestored condition and it runs about perfect too. Got it on Ebay from a guy 30 miles from me. He already wants it painted like the drag sled, but I already had it over to my graphics sponsor to measure for some custom decals for now....Blue

Looks like a great sled, dont know how old your little guy is but, the Enticer's are perfect starter sleds. My son started on a 79-300 @ 5-6 years old 15 years ago. Had a small block of wood I carved for under the throttle, screwed it in there, could never get over 15mph. Perfect learning sled. As he improved, we modified the block until he was better skilled & running at 30 40 mph. Eventually moved up to a 340 Enticer then on to Phazers back then. Was a great way to teach him. Plus, those Enticers are absoulutely bullet proof mechanically. Like a timex, takes a lickin & keeps on tickin. Look forward to the upgrade cosmetics pics.

Very very clean sled.. Looks great. I started, well, was supposed to, start on a 1976 Yamaha GP 300.. We got a really clean motor for it for $75 from a local dealer.. Put new rings in it, and it drove 1 foot, and took the motor out. So the next year, I moved up to an 88 Inviter 300, that was bought for $75.. Once we were into it for $150, I had a really nice sled..

I've acctually wanted 1 of those enticers.. I've heard the motor are pretty much bulletproof!

The sled has deffinitly been taken care of. I MEAN REALLY TAKEN CARE OF!

My sled had 500 something miles on, and was stored most the time, and this is what it looked like

That's a nice looking sled. Great learning sled for kids. I bought my Excell III for my daughters to learn on and my oldest daughter put 90 miles on it the first weekend going around and around in a 5 acre hayfield next to my house. I've still got it, saving it for my Grandson's.
