Re: Force Engines - Why such a bad reputation
Mako MADE my point. If the grass is 12" high, you have no mower, the youngun is outta diapers,and the nieghborhood grass-nazi has the paperwerk allready done to turn you in, what would you do? I just surfed-over to JD POWERS' site,and did a search for boat ownership in the continental USA. It turns-out, that average anual income for average boat ownership $86,000 for runabouts, over $100,000 for Consoles!<br />Also, the average age of said first time boat owners is 44 for runabout, 60 for consoles!!! That is very telling. It tells me that anyone under 44years old,making less than 86K a year is lucky to be able to AFFORD anything that floats.<br />I am certain these facts too,will be picked-appart,but hey... not eveyone can afford to descriminate. Some replies here think these Force owners "can't spell maintainence". There's no need for that kinda statement. <br />Maybee he knows something I don't,but it is true that these were entry-level engines attached to entry-level boats...Many of which are still out there. Force is junk like Bayliner boats are junk,right? Well, they are inferior, but does that mean nobody should own one? How many Murray lawnmowers are out there? Who cares? Ask JD Power.<br />In the meantime, may the fish bite, and the Force be with you. And if buying a new Yammy as opposed to a 2year-old Force eans the differance between ownership or not, I'll take the Force, and take care of what I AM able to afford. Not that I take offence to the statement about spelling, but I'll spell "werk" and "maintainance" any way I want,thank you.
