Certificate of substantial performance has been issued on the Okalakatiget Society media centre.
Pending OK acceptance then moving could start tomorrow.
The other completion was another Ski Doo caught fire, this one was in Hopedale. Seems a teacher and some friends decided to go for a ride, being a nice day and school break and all.
Five minutes out of town the owner smelt and noticed smoke coming out of the front cowling of his machine, a new Expedition 660.
Stopping and lifting the cowling the owner related that flames flared up, so he fearing an explosion took off to a safe distance. Some one in the group had a camera and a series of photograph were taken of the flames. Flames eventually engulfed the ski doo and burnt it to the ice, even leaving a small crater in the ice, as heat will do.
Owner contacted the manufacture, a spokesperson is alleged to have said that even thought the ski doo was still under warranty that this incident was not covered under the warranty. Seeing that there was very little of the machine left it is going to be one of those he said he said affairs me thinks.
There was insurance on the machine but that is of little use this time of year, lots of good snowmobiling will be lost for sure.
I would hazard a guess that we have not heard the last of this incident.
