Arctic cat going all two stroke,no more yamaha 4 stroke, yamaha will have to make a chassis or their buying ACs, AC new chassis with all cat two stroke motors for 2021. The AC Yamaha deal is over five years, heard it from a good source.

Not questioning you or your source....
I had heard about 3 weeks ago that Yamaha was buying Arctic Cat Snowmobile division and that a bunch of AC dealers have dropped Arctic Cat.
Who knows.
There is some sense that the combination of the two would be a great pairing. There is at least a few dealers that carry both already. As you stated Arctic is all 2 stroke and Yamaha is all 4 stroke going forward. Yamaha having a North American manufacturing center for their snowmobiles just makes to much sense, especially when considering that Tarriff free sales and shipping between Canada and the USA exists.... thinking NAFTA.
Oh and then there is the perennial x,y, z manufacturer is going to go out of business.
We haven't even taken delivery of any 2020s and the rumours have begun about 2021. No problem with that per se just observing and commenting.

How about Chevy and 2 smokes and Cadillac and 4strokes?
That a fair look? And a lot probably dropped cat because cat dropped the prices so much and most of it was off dealers end of the bill. And they are spring order only.

I think a fair guess is Yamaha or Arctic Cat is going to stop the manufacturing of Snowmobiles.
