I am looking at buying a couple used ATV's for me and the wife, to basically take out in the Florida mud...can get pretty nasty, holes get several feet deep of water too. Not completely new to 4 wheelin just never owned my own. Usually borrow my buddys LTZ250. Seems to be a swarm of blasters for around a grand around my area, which is close to what I'm wanting to spend. Have found some Bayou's and a polaris here or there, but wanted to see what you guys would recommend. Not really worried about racing anyone, but want something that would be decent in the mud/water and be able to hang with my buddy's LTZ when we go out together. Appreciate any and all suggestions, thanks!
