You know how sometimes really nice boats are rigged with these Force motors sometimes @ attractive prices??
I found a "98 17 proline bought as a leftover with no bottom paint, was told no more then 100 hrs.opn the 90hp Force. asking price is $ 9500 { neg.}
I love that boat, maybe one of the most seaworthy 17's ever made but the Force is not my first choice in engines to say the least.
Any good reports on this engine out there?
Wonder if..
a- could trade it in towards a Yammie or b- could sell it. would anyone even buy one of these motors??
Thanks for any replys, Alan

I've seen a few prolines with Forces, 2 @ my yard. Thanks for the info. Motors a '98 also, pretty sure Factory rigged. Also pretty sure they'd give you a choice of force or merc offering a savings to those who choose Force.

I was waiting for someone to say that! Well dont matter because yesterday I bought a whaler with a new yamaha. Im psyched as it'll be my first yammie & Whaler too come to think of it.

Its something that I fell in love with . Im going to get back into a bigger boat within couple years but after seeing this little Whaler I knew I wanted to buy it.
Its a 1988 15' Boston Whaler sport, Bimini, restored wood in MINT cond. Engine's a 2001 Yamaha 70 injected, 35 hrs.
Its something really nice to get me out there, blast around the bays will do an honest 45 mph & hopefully be able to poke around the inlet when its calm enough.
Also I got a pretty good deal so with a Sweet Whaler like this with Yamaha power sould be easy to sell & hold some of its value well.
Ill post some pictures after I take some.
The only thing is I can feel the backache now! Alan
