Really depends on your point of view. I personally think they are a good value, but, of course, you get what you paid for. I am willing to do the necessary maintenance and repairs.
I have towed in Mercuries, Evinrudes and Johnsons, but never a Force.
True, there are not that many.
Like Frank said, maintain them, and they will serve.
Take a look at the other engine forums. They all have troubles.
i got a 120 force. has never givin any trouble. ran great for years. only problem i have ever had was me leting it sit up for two long. runs great now.
mine runs great! '84, 85hp that was well taken care of by the first owner. i'm just a little mechanical & have been able to do basic but necessary maintenance. pretty sure i'll get a few more good years out of her until i get newer/bigger but w/ gas prices going up, this 85 is doin' pretty good!
I have a '92 Force 150hp on my '92 Trophy 2000. I am the second owner of this boat / motor. Going into my 4th season with it. Original owner was meticulous with it as I try to be as well. Very satisfied with mine.
