It depends on what year and which engine and what you would be doing with them. In my opinion the fan cooled 340 and 440 engines in a sled that size is way underpowered. The 550 liquid is better and a good solid engine with few problems. The Bearcats are heavy and not intended to be sporty but might be a good starter setup for family trail rides.

Bearcats are work sleds, pure and simple. Great for going ice fishing, towing a toboggan for firewood, that kind of thing. A lot of snowmobile clubs use sleds them for pulling little groomers. If you're looking for cheap sleds to get out with the family or something, they are decent.

yep

Skandic or tundra for sure on this category. My grampas 09 skandic widetrack is incredible. Freaking auto start, track wider than a sheet of plywood, goes anywhere, and will pull anything.
