Greetings. First time poster. I need some advice. I am shopping for a fishing boat after selling my 4 Winns Ski boat which was I/O (kids grew up so dad wants to fish now!). I am looking at a nice boat with later 90's vintage Force 120HP engine. This engine has been recently serviced with new impeller kit and fuel pump kit plus tune-up. Some friends are telling me to stay away from Force engines, that they are low end Mercury motors and are problematic. The mechanic that has worked on my 4 Winns for last 5 years told me the later 90s Force engines are essentially Mercury motors and not to worry if it has been well cared for. Comments please??
Also, if the engine has spent time in the ocean, does that influence the decision if it has been flushed out well after each use?
Thanks guys!
Bill
