I have a force 125hp. Im thinking about putting it on a 1989 searay. Is there anything holding me back from doing so

My advice would be to check with the manufacturer.

I suppose he could start by looking at the capacity plate on the boat.
Since he didn't say what size it was, a 125 might be too heavy.
I would be more concerned about the condition of the motor. Force had
lots of problems. I am a little surprised that one is still around and
running.

I assumed from his question that either he doesn't know about capacity
plates or the boat doesn't have one for some reason. Do you know what
year they became required?


The capacity plate has been around for decades. My 68 no name
runabout had one.
