can a 1999 mercury 150hp lower unit be installed on a 1999 force 90 hp

The one I looked at, the drive-shaft is not the same.
Provide more details of what 150 hp / serial numbers?

i would but i don't have the 150 yet and the 90 is not legible. everything looks the same hate to purchase the 150 and not be able to use parts what is different about the drive shafts

I went through similar issues on the rebuild of the 70 horse Force.
After looking at parts, over and over and comparing parts, over and over, I finally figured out that many components in the lower unit and gear housing are the same.
Do some searches, compare parts numbers between the two and see if there is any references to components from the 150 fitting Your 90 horse.
I believe that You will find that they may fit, but, do the research to be sure.
