for some who think that Eliason was the first guy to make a sled ,, well , your almost right ,, Joseph Armnand Bombardier had his made 2 years before Eliason. 1922 for ski-doo and 1924 for Eliason's first 2.5HP Outboard Johnson motor using a model T ford Radiator,had it patented in 1927, they were called motor toboggans.
compared to Yamaha who came out with their first sled in 1968 the SL350.
Here's a couple pictures for you guys , the first one is the official first sled built by Joseph A Bombardier in 1920 and was ready by 1922. Enjoy/snofan/../images/users/acadian/firstsnowmobile.gif
