I have a Marathon and I am very pleased with it. The cart was given to me in great condition other than the batterires so it was a no brainer to fix up. Like scottyb said parts are a little harder to find for the Marathon. Motors and controllers are not a problem but accessories like bumpers, brush bars and fender flares are hard to come by. I had to fab a lot of my own stuff on mine.

If the newer cart has the fiberglass body it will weigh less which is a plus. These things are very heavy.

There is not a posi for the Marathon. At least as far as I know and I have looked and looked. However I use my cart hunting and have been through all kinds of mud and slush suprisingly well and have never gotten stuck. It helps I have good tires. IMO the cart will do about 70% of what an ATV would. It will cover most trails not problem it just doesnt do well blazing new ones through the woods.
