Novice looking for a Sled

Not so fast, there is a reason why there is a single versus a double seater. A single's rear suspension is simply not designed to handle the load of two people regardless of whether or not you can bolt a jump seat on the back even if it is a "factory" accessory. Furthermore how well is that going to handle with all that weight squatting the rear suspension taking the load off the skis? Maybe OK to use in a pinch (I wouldn't) but if you want a two up machine my suggestion would be to buy one.
