I have yet to see one of these in person. They stopped making bearcats before I was born :) But they look like great engines!!

There's a place out here about 2hrs north of me in redding that rebuilds the bearcat 55's and sells them for $1500. I am considering repowering with a pair of these . . . them come with a 1 year warranty the down side is the lack of trim and tilt. Look at how simple this motor is
