    Since this is your first boat, find a good mechanic and bring him with you. Ive had over 20 boats and i still dont know much. However if you know motors, then do what you would do for any motor.

    1. Weight is inclusive of all gear,coolers, etc. Foam is for keeping boat from sinking in a catastrophic event, nothing to do with everyday use. 2. Pressure test all cylinders. Motor specific numbers posted here to see if good but above all else they all need to be similar psi. 3. You...

    Lots of boat manufacturers come and go quickly, so you may never find anything.

    Welcome back. Couple thoughts. A five year old boat is typically too new on this forum to have much discussion or deep knowledge. I hate to refer you to another forum but baylinerownersclub.org is your best bet for specific info on that new of a boat. General service questions always come...

    They dont make those motors any longer, sadly. Easy to work on basic motor. That said imo you sell or give it away for scrap and after you have decided to keep and repair the boat you find a running motor to replace it with. Parts are getting very hard to find.

    Look at the last pic with it on the boat. As i mentioned, it is an 85 hp Force not Mercury as the ad states. Probably same year as the boat. The pic with the spark plugs states US Marine poer. Google that to start your history lesson.

    Put up a pic of the motor. That is the sticking point at this time.
