Hey Josh I know what your saying but that motor ran almost as good as the day I bought it new and even then itwas not half the motor this new 4 stroke is. It would never troll down so I put a 4 hp kicker on which worked good but was a pain in the butt. Those force motors where HP rated at the power head not the prop so it was realy only about a 35 HP motor this new 60 rips. I think if it had oil injection instead of pre mix I would still have it but I got a pretty good trade out of it and 10 years of service and I only paid 8000 for the boat motor and trailer brand new in 1996 so it did not owe me a thing.
