Help....newbie here....just got a 1987 Sportsman 1700 Blue Fin in remarkable remarkable condition with a Force 50 motor on it. I have not seen the boat in the water but supposedly it was from the third owner and it has under 100 hours on the motor. I did hear the motor run with its muffs on and it ran nice and went into forward and reverse without issue. Carb was rebuilt twice in it's life most recently a year ago when it was brought in supposedly for a service. The motor is immaculate both on the outside and under the hood. Truly spotless. I had a few friends who know boats look the whole thing over and they think I got a crazy good deal on the boat, trailer. Before I put it in the water I wanted to have a marina look it over but am finding that nobody wants to touch the Force 50???
How do I tell what I have here? Mercury? Chrysler? Is there a Serial number I can find and post here? What do I do?
