Don't walk, run away fast. First of all for am 18 footer, that is seriously UNDERpowered. Second, Force is NOT a good long lasting motor.<br /><br />Just my opinion and experience.<br /><br />Craig
Hey its a good motor I would rather have a newer force over any older outboard. The motors built 96 and newer are just fine. Infact I think my 96 75 has all quicksilver components. I am having trouble with the fuel pressure but all my outboards had this.
