This snowmobile, powered by a 29.5 cubic inch, single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, generated 16 horsepower, allowing it to reach a respectable top speed for its time. It featured a simple yet effective design, encompassing a steel tubular frame, a fiberglass seat, and a suspension system with spring-loaded skis and a rear track. The Ski Daddler was noted for its relatively lightweight design, making it maneuverable and easy to control, even for novice riders. It provided a thrilling experience for its users, allowing them to explore the snowy landscapes with ease and enjoy the exhilarating sensation of traversing the frozen terrain.
