.... no need to worry the severely scuffed cylinder and detonated pistons are normal wear and tear for these rough and tumble motors. and the transom on the 1986 Bayliner it is attached to isn't soft it just needs some incentive to stand back up.:D:D

I hate to clutter a good ad with facts, but I don't think Force made a 35 in 1985. At least create a believable title.

It was a 50, but one cylinder is a little low on compression.

The one I love is the guy that has a motor for sale and tells it run great last summer, started one pull every time and the gas tank is full of rust and the motor is on a boat registered in 1983.

An 85 force with a detonated piston puts out approx 35bhp I was simply trying to be the only honest ad on cl. :D:D:D

"needs points adjusted."

I fell for that one on the first outboard I bought.

Should have read "needs ignition system completely rebuilt. Parts almost impossible to find."
