Mercury had those. I don't think they'd fit a Force of that vintage. I also don't think anybody makes those anymore. Most were bronze, but I have seen a few of aluminum.

The problem with force engines is that they seem to be severely overrated when it comes to horsepower keep this in mind when you shop for props. Your "85hp" probabally actually only kicks out about 60hp. If you get a prop for an 85hp. it will "rob" a considerable amount of power from you engine.
