Re: pics as promised
O I love mine actually called a local dealer yesterday who when I said Force outboard literally laughed and said I was screwed on my boat, why did I waste one penny on it. I said well first off you have lost my buisness and second off I have seen more evinrudes,johnsons, and newer mercs stuck on the loading ramp trying to offload from the trailer and not starting as I bump my key and take off. So ty but no ty I will stick with my "joke" as you seem to think it is. I love this little motor.
One quick inquiry though what kind of speed should i expect from this? also what kind of handling? I came from one that was missing the back half of the boat in wood and had very little weight to the front of it. So I wasnt really cutting through waves, this one is shallower and much more heavier from the factory as the previous. I was hitting 40 with my gps on the old one . I know this one being heaver will be different but I have read of people hitting around 50 at wot is this a real possiblity? My biggest concern is handling. It was extremly rough riding in even the lightest waves and turning was a scary thing. I was told it was due to transom flex being so extreme. Also I understand 16.5 is not a very long boat so it will be somewhat rough. I am just curious what to expect when I finally get the rigging done and get out on the lake.
