Please give me your gut instinct thoughts please. I will not be offended by anything. I appreciate any and ALL input. I acquired a 1968 Larson Shark or Runabout... Lapline Model 16+ foot Open Bow Outboard Boat. My primary use will be for Fishing. Please give me ideas what any of you would name it if you owned it.

GOOD STUFF Maynard. Yes Gordon the 4 Cycle on the hull was state of the art at the time. Boston W used them because 4 cycle is good stuff. 2 cycle is great as well but are more for higher RPM to get into POWER BAND than 4 cycles.

Thank You Mudbugger. I sent a PM to you. I am interested in chatting more about the Bearcat. There was a gentleman in Northern California that used to refurbish these particular Outboards but from what I can tell maybe does not anymore. Website etc is not active anymore but I think there is a phone number on it. I have not called him. The previous owner of the 16.5 Larson had an identical 55HP built by the guy in N Cal. It was stolen off this boat and is main reason he sold it to me.
