Abstract
A running board assembly includes a mounting bracket, a support, and a running board. The mounting bracket is configured to detachably couple to a first portion of the snowmobile. The support has a first end, a second end, and a running board interface positioned between the first end and the second end. The first end is detachably coupled to the mounting bracket. The second end is configured to detachably couple to a second portion of the snowmobile. The running board is detachably coupled to and supported by the mounting bracket and the running board interface of the support. The running board has a support surface defining a plurality of apertures forming a honey-comb shaped profile.
