I tried to get answers under the Force forum and only got one, so I thought I'd try it under Mercury. I am looking at a 1992 Bayliner Walk Around sport fisherman that has the original Force 150 HP outboard on it. Owner has receipts for a new powerhead 2 years ago. He says it was made by mercury? A web search showed Mercury bought the design out from Chrysler and at some point, made parts that were interchangeable with Mercs? Motor looks to be in great shape as well as the whole boat for that matter. Very well maintained. Questions are (1) Are these good motors? (2) Does it share any parts at all with a Mercury? (3) Are parts readily available for these motors? (4) What's with the 5 cylinder design? (5) Anything else I need to know about before purchasing this boat / motor? Thanks so much, Dave
