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.


Way back when, I talked to a Bayliner salesman (friend of my brother's) about the Force engine and
was told they were basically a 'throw-away' engine.
