Force is a discontinued engine...

Plan on spending some money for a repower soon if you buy this boat.

Still not a bad price for some one that wants a starter boat. I would offer about 1000 to 1500 less. Well that is sight unseen. I would take a look in person first. Thanks for the heads up C-rod.

Well before you by any boat, it's a good idea to pay the cash and hire a marine surveyor. They will go through the boat with a fine tooth comb and let you know of any problems that exist. They are professionals and will save you the headache of buying someone else's problem.

It's well worth the money.

YA BIG TIME... too many people make the mistake of saying it has plenty or power. I ask can it stop or will the trailer push the tow vehicle all over the place. Never exceed the manufactures tow ratings they are there for a reason.
