What is the power plant i would think he should be able to put a used one in pretty easily. What year is the boat and what shape is it in. Those would be deciding factors to me.

Its a1985, 120hp i/o he is looking into replaceing the motor . the boat is in nice shape for the age. If not he will sell as is . Not sure what he will do yet. thanks.

I know a guy who would do the swap, if he does go that route he would be reasonable with price i am sure. If boat is in good shape its def worth the new engine i would think

I guess he is giong to put a motor in it as of now. but that may change !lol

I would suggest rebuilding. There is a guy around buffalo that deals with force and has a ton of stuff. My buddy has a force and gets his parts from him. Your force is new enough that it's a merc force not a Chrysler. I'll ask my friend about the force guy. I'll try n get you a phone number.

My friend didn't have the number offhand but the place is called Lang's Outboards in tonawanda. He deals pretty much exclusively in force. I'm willing to bet he has a rebuilt powerhead ready to bolt on.
