A snowmobile comprises a chassis including a tunnel, an engine disposed on the chassis at a forward end thereof and a seat disposed above the tunnel behind the engine. The seat has an inclined rear end face extending upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the upper surface of the tunnel, a cavity being defined beneath the seat between the inclined rear end face and the upper surface of the tunnel. The cavity is adapted to receive at least a portion of a transportable object therein, such that the transportable object is locatable above the tunnel at least partially beneath the seat.

The invention claimed is: 1. A snowmobile comprising: a chassis including a tunnel having an upper surface; an engine disposed on the chassis; a drive track disposed below and supported by the tunnel and operatively connected to the engine for propulsion of the snowmobile; two skis mounted to the chassis, each via a front suspension; a straddle seat disposed on the tunnel above the drive track and rearward of the engine, the seat having a rear end with a rear end face, the rear end face being inclined upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the upper surface of the tunnel; a steering device disposed on the chassis forward of the seat and operatively connected to the two skis for steering the snowmobile; a cavity defined beneath the seat between the inclined rear end face and the upper surface of the tunnel, the cavity being adapted to receive at least a portion of a transportable object therein, the transportable object being locatable above the tunnel at least partially beneath the seat. 2. The snowmobile as defined in claim 1, wherein the transportable object comprises one of a fuel container or a carrying bag. 3. The snowmobile as defined in claim 1, wherein attachment points are provided on the snowmobile such that the transportable object, disposed in the cavity, is removably fastenable to the snowmobile using a fastener. 4. The snowmobile as defined in claim 3, wherein the attachment points are provided on the tunnel. 5. The snowmobile as defined in claim 1, wherein an upwardly projecting tail rack is mounted on the tunnel rearward of the seat. 6. The snowmobile as defined in claim 1, wherein side members are provided on either side of the snowmobile between the seat and the tunnel and define the cavity therebetween. 7. An object transportable on a snowmobile comprising a seat disposed above a tunnel having a substantially flat upper surface, the seat having an inclined rear end face extending upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the upper surface of the tunnel, a cavity being defined beneath the seat between the inclined rear end face and the upper surface, the object comprising a wedge-shaped portion having a slanted upper surface corresponding to the inclined rear end face of the seat and being abutable thereagainst such that at least the portion of the object is receivable within the cavity, the object being thereby locatable above the tunnel at least partially beneath the seat. 8. The object as defined in claim 7, wherein the object comprises one of a fuel container and a carrying bag. 9. The object as defined in claim 7, wherein the object comprises attachment points, the attachment points cooperating with at least a fastener on the snowmobile for securing the object to the snowmobile. 10. The object as defined in claim 9, wherein the fastening member includes a fastening strap, the fastening strap forcing the object forward towards the inclined rear end face of the seat when the object is located on the snowmobile. 11. The object as defined in claim 10, wherein a ratchet mechanism is provided to tighten the fastening strap, thereby fastening the object to the tunnel. 12. The object as defined in claim 7, wherein the object is a carrying bag comprising an opening extending at least partially around a rear portion thereof beneath the slanted upper surface, the slanted upper surface comprising part of a forwardly pivoting lid of the carrying bag. 13. The object as defined in claim 7, wherein the object is a semi-rigid carrying bag. 14. A snowmobile in combination with an object transportable thereon, the snowmobile comprising: a chassis including a tunnel having an upper surface; an engine disposed on the chassis; a drive track disposed below and supported by the tunnel and operatively connected to the engine for propulsion of the snowmobile; two skis mounted to the chassis, each via a front suspension; a straddle seat disposed above the tunnel above the drive track and rearward of the engine, the seat having a rear end with a rear end face, the rear end face being inclined upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the upper surface of the tunnel; a steering device disposed on the chassis forward of the seat and operatively connected to the two skis for steering the snowmobile; a cavity defined beneath the seat between the inclined rear end face and the upper surface of the tunnel, the cavity being adapted to receive at least a portion of the object therein; the object having at least a portion thereof shaped to complement the cavity such that the portion is receivable therein, the object being thereby locatable above the tunnel at least partially beneath the rear end face of the seat.
