I FINALLY did it, I finally gotta steal on a "redneck cart" and it was from my own brother. He had a 2001 Outback/ClubCar that he no longer wanted:

He bought it new a few years ago and it just doesn't have enough juice to run 6-7 hilly, muddy and sandymiles (round trip) for him onto the backside of his property (2500acres) twice a day. But I hunton the frontside of the place and typically within a mile or two of the truck.It is basically loaded up with extra lights, brushguards, fender flares, winch, gun racks, trailer hitch and the body is Mossy Oak Breakup. As equipped new it would run nearly $7k. I got it, charger and all for $2500! I took the charger too a golfcart shop today and it checked out perfect, the batteries are getting serviced and I had the cables replaced so it should be ready to go for a full season. I might replace the batteries with gel/maintence free next spring if they begin to feel weak this season,but for now the batteries in it run great and last several miles. The 15hp/48volt motor is STOUT! It will throw a rooster trail in the mud.

It won't go through the slop like my Honda 4x4 but realistically I rarely use them off of farm roads or even the field edges. I have used the cart before and it is of course SILENT, I can ride it right up too the bottom of a tree and get in the stand during gunseason. With bowseason it's merely a matter of parking it near a bush or something a 100yds away or so. Scentwise the deer seem to equate it with anyother piece of farm machinery. I aint gettin rid of my four wheeler but I will REALLY enjoy the quick, silent runs into my stands especially since my kids are getting old enough to go with me now. I also have a huntin buddy that has a degenerative joint disease and doesn't get around very well so this will make it MUCH easier on him as well.

LOL that and like I said, I practically STOLE IT!!!
