hi guys im a newbie to boating and am looking at purchasing my first boat. its a 16ft spectrum with a 70 hp force motor. I have read alot of mixed reviews and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with the force line of motors. with this being my first boat owning I don't want to be stuck with a turd for motor that the dealer puts on it. any recommendations of other motors would be great too. thanks
 
Bought a new Bayliner with twin 88/85hp.
Had no real serious problems.
The 70 is a good motor.
Not as economical as a fuel injected but cheaper to fix if anything goes wrong.
Lots of used parts out there.
I'd buy one.

Do a compression test.
 
thanks racerone and jerryjerry05 for your responses. I will definitely check out the compression and have them run the motor for me before I buy it. thanks again
