SNOWEST OCTOBER 2014 31
At the most recent International
Snowmobile Congress in Keystone,
CO, International Snowmobile
Manufacturers Association President
Ed Klim shared some interesting survey
results, along with some other informa-
tion we thought we would pass along.
• Average age of snowmobilers is 44
years.
• 76 percent of those surveyed said their
first snowmobile purchased was used.
• 55 percent said they belong to a
snowmobile club or association.
• Average number of miles ridden last
season (2013-14) was 1,620.
Snowmobilers' other recreational
pursuits include: camping (47 percent),
boating (33 percent), ATV riding (30
percent), hiking (29 percent), other
(28 percent), motorcycle riding/golfing
(27 percent) and downhill skiing (19
percent)
Klim once again pointed out that
E15 should not be used in snow-
mobiles but did talk about another
product, butanol, that might be okay
in snowmobiles. We're doing some
research on that product and will
include more about it in a future issue
of SnoWest. d
new customers by providing a service
other dealerships do not offer.
Boat and off-highway vehicle own-
ers who partner with Fun2Rent offset
the costs and expense of ownership
while their equipment is insured for
damages.
Company CEO Shawn Gardner
explains that his company has hun-
dreds of rentals-by-owners now. "Many
owners on the site earn 30-50 percent
of the value of their equipment in the
first year of renting," he explains. In
fact, Gardner describes their insurance
as the "best in the business," including
liability for owners and renters plus
collision coverage on equipment. In
July 2014, owners on the site earned
over $50,000 after Fun2Rent's nomi-
nal commission fee.
Peer-to-peer rental companies
such as Fun2Rent have carved out an
unprecedented way to offer a win-win
experience for boat and power sport
vehicle owners and their renters. For
