FORCE boat motors???
Hey everyone, does anyone know y FORCE MOTORS r so cheap compared to Mercury. I was just at a marine center and i can buy a 1996 40hp Force motor (tiller) for only $1,250. Or r they just junk?? Also, i heard that they weigh a quite a bit more than regular motors, is that true??
Thanx

Force (Chrysler) motors are OEM for the less expensive boats, ie. Bayliner etc.
You need to realize the motor you looked at is 6 years old. I've got a 50 horse on a 14 bowrider and it does ok.
Do a compresiion check on any engine you intend to buy. It'll tell you if it was abused or not.
