Default Sled Decks

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a 7 foot aluminum sled deck. I'm looking for one with expandable slides, and a telescopic ramp to save as much room as possible underneath. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been told to stick with Marathon or Marlon. And to stay far away from the Denali decks. Anyone looking to get rid of one for a fair price or know any dealers with some old stock? I'm shooting for the 1500 to 2000 price range.

Thanks!

I use the cross tracks decks. Decent built deck. A bit heavy. The ramp is nice once it's set up, not one I would want to be setting up a few times a day. I think I would prefer a telescopic ramp. Cross trax makes a nice deck and telescopic tall for a decent price.

i have had a marathon deck since 2008 on my truck year round used with sleds/quads and dirt bikes
still have the factory plywood even only issue i had was i need to change one of the small round side led marker lights out
telescopic ramps are the way to go easy to use for one person
i did get a cross trax extension as 163 sled hangs a long way off of a 7ft deck with out it

OP, you'd better jump on this deal, good luck finding better for that price, if it's in good shape. Discussion over

I would come buy this off of you tomorrow if it was for a short box truck. Darn. I'm also in the market for a short bed sled deck.

It's exactly like what you'd expect, top heavy! You must adjust your driving accordingly. Good traction though
