bob n outbdnut2, I always liked the look of those Bearcat 55’s. It’s to bad the lower units weren’t up to the task of handling 55 hp. At that time OMC was producing there big 75hp motors. Whatever you think of the 75 omc’s they were a tractor when it comes to pulling. Their gear case held up great. Imagine that bearcat with it’s measly 55 ponies using a omc gear case! They might have changed the whole outboard business.
just a though
