have the chance to buy a 99 force 120 to replace the 88 force 125. both have 25in shafts. the 120 is off a trophy and the 88 is on a bylnr cobra. once before on this site someone suggested a newer version. my question is will all the t/t and controls work with the 99? it doesnt come with them. but the price is right at 2k with warrenty til 2004. can someone help me with this. i need to use existing t/t and cotrols. :confused:

AHA!!! there you are! :) There are two totally different designs in the same model year, much less HP change. My book doesn't list to 99 (96 is the latest I have info on).<br />But to find out,examine the unit on a simular year 125HP, and then the one on your 120. If they look identical, it should work fine. The reason being,the two designs look nothing like the other.<br />Sorry I can't be of more help.
