Next, how many studs someone needs isn't really a matter of opinion. The guys you see with a lot of studs are probably compensating for something (power, carbide, etc.). It all depends on the nature of how you use your sled. For instance, if I race on Back Lake or Turkey Pond regularly with a race sled, I'll probably be running a lot more than 96 studs due to running on ice. So be careful about the advice you give if you do not understand what you are talking about.
For instance, many people don't know there is a direct relationship between the number of studs you run and the size of carbides you use on the skis. All I'm saying is, do your homework. The Winnipesaukee forum is not the best place to get your info regarding stuff like this. Check out some snowmobile related websites such as hardcoresledder.com or dootalk.com. There is tons of information on this topic that is very precise.

Just a warning be careful about some of those snowmobile related websites. While a lot of the information is true there is just as much BS on there. Read through many topics on what you are looking for and make a decision for yourself.
I am an avid snowmobiler and have a lot of friends that snowmobile. I have 6 sleds sitting in the garage ranging from a 220 hp crankshop sled to a 1976 Mercury.
I have way too many friends that believe everything they read on those forums and waste more money and screw more things up from things they read and think are helpful then I care to remember.
Trust me I am on those sites all the time they are fun and full of advise just weed through the sdvise and make your own decisions. I feel that talking to your local dealer will give you better advise then a lot of it on those sites. Another idea is talk to people in the local snowmobile club. There are a lot of people with a lot experience in those clubs and they probably would give you a hand for a couple beers and some help with trail work.
