Ahh. June 1st. Sun is out and it’s 72 degrees. I love winter, but I have to admit this feels good.
Last week I put up a photo of a little moto-ski from St. Germain that I really liked. I didn’t have any information on it, but now I do. It belongs to 14 year old Jesse Hill, Tim Hill’s son. He has owned it since he was 5 years old.
It’s a 1971 Moto-Ski Mini-Sno, and Jesse and his dad found it in a basement in mint condition. After Jesse had it a couple years he decided he wanted a few things done to it. So under Jesse’s direction, Tim put a megaphone on, swapped the Keihen carb to a Mikuni, and had the head cut down for more compression. Tim then made the blue windshield and they added the orange stripe and some of his skateboard decals. The skis were custom made as a gift from Mike Soltis. The rest of the sled has all original paint, seat etc. Time says it is powered by a 230 JLO, it puts out close to 15hp and surprisingly, it really rips!
Thanks for the info Tim and nice sled!
