I am pretty sure that is a 2-stroke. They only made one model of an 85hp that year.

Thats what i was thinking. I never heard of a 4 stroke Force.

The seller put regular gas in and ran the motor...it now has a miss...:eek:
He told the buyer he knew nothing about the boat.Took it in on trade but thought it was a 4 stroke...:rolleyes:

Not worth $400.00. Those Capris' of that era were notorious for needing transoms, stringers and floors - - rot. As has been said the Force has a terrible reputation.

Yeah but if I could more often get boats, motors, campers and motor homes for what NADA said it was worth, I would be rich in the resale business!
