hey guys,
just a reminder.....i'm the guy who traded a harley davidson toolbox for a 71 v20 cc. with a 91 force 150 :-[ i have heard all the bad stuff about the force too, and it probaly true. but i have heard that there are a few good stories out there toooooo. well i talked to a guy who worked on force he worked at a marina that sold a ton of force motors, they sold bayliners. he said alot of the problem was the newbies that bought the cheap deals on boat motors and trailer package. they never owned a boat before. they never read the manual, or did any maintenance. which these motors need.
yes they are cheap motors, were made that way to keep the price down, but if the maintenance was done you have a very good chance that it will give you good service. as for how i feel about my force well time will tell. i feel the weak link on my deal is the motor only because of all the stories. would i buy a force motor on purpose? no way......... but i'm stuck with what i have. the one good thing the motor was rebuilt last spring.
well anyway i will be starting on the boat in the next week or so, my kid said it will be floating my april 1st. we will see. hope to have some pic. as we go along.
