When you fellas go to tour Precision Sonar, get with Fastbass Marine and give us a good review of the Allison XB-21. He is the #1 dealer in the country and is very close to Precision Sonar. I wanna see a real hands on review of one of those unicorns!
Calm down Andy sometimes I wonder if Jordan is trying to give you a heart attack with the freaking Topix you are too important to our industry to leave us early keep phone keeping on brother
This is a perfect description of Bayliner and Force! The first brand new boat and motor my dad ever bought. We lived on a lake and he had to wrench on that thing every single time we ever used it, which was almost daily! 18’ boat with an 85hp ran 25mph on a good day with one grown man and two kids!
I still have a force from 1987, owned since 2012. Only plugs. Still has the same compression and never an issue. This boat runs 45. I must have had a good one. It did leak down on tilt. Cost $3.00 worth of off the shelf the rubber to fix, when it was 35 years old.
My local Force authorized repair center loved their motors, they were his highest income source. For a joke I had t-shirts made with a Force motor picture labeled Farce for his clients. It turned out to be his number one merchandise seller.
This video was epic as hell. My dad had a force, had it for about 6 months, literally threw it in a metal bin and went and bought a brand new merc black max and ran that on his boat for about 15 years before he upgraded to a Yamaha.
I bought my first boat, a 17' Larson with a 130 Mercruiser, in 1989. Not exactly the best boat around, but I recall looking at Bayliners and decided against it specifically due to the Force outboard.
I love it! The biggest pile of shit ever made, and so many people that honestly thought they were good, until at BEST, second season with it! 🤣 I like the rant Andy! 😂
I had a late model force by Mercury 70 hp. Parts were quicksilver, so that made me feel like it really was a merc. Weak compression on top cylinder, outside of that, it was okay, well and the lower unit leaked too. Lol
I unfortunately owned one, the starter broke itself off the mount. Had it fixed and a month later gasket under the power head failed and was filling the cowling with water submersing the head. All this at under 40 hours, I was new and didn’t know any better. Only the 2nd worse outboard I’ve owned.
My 97 mercury/force 40 hp on my boat has ran great for years. The only things I have had to do is a carb clean and starter besides basic maintenance. Still fires right up at the turn of the key. Definitely a shaky motor at idle but I love it.
Even though I have one I LOLed through this whole thing cuz U Right! When I bought my 1980 bass boat for $3500, it came with a Force 125 on it and whole extra one on a pallet!! Shoulda known I was in for it. 🤣... I blew up the first one after 3 years. I then swapped the powerheads and ran the 2nd powerhead for another year and it blew! Then, I looked and looked for an Opti but couldn't find one in or even near California for under $3000.... So guess what I did? I bought another Force 125 powerhead for $750 on Ebay. So... yeah... Force is a POS but it's my POS! Here's the full side of the glass.. I have fished almost every weekend for 4 years AND I learned how to work on outboards! I HAVE to get one of those shirts!!!!!! Thanks for the video... it made my day!
I put a 115 force on the back of a 17' alumaweld.. I loved it! It's a budget carbureted setup, keep it clean and maintained, mine was one that was a good one
A friend of mine bought a bumliner with a farce motor. I gave my opinion of it. He of course said it's a great boat. I haven't heard from him since. I was the best man in his wedding. I hope he's still alive!!!
good video guys , it would be nice if you did a video about the johnson fast strike 150 since they put them on everything back in the early to mid 90's . thanks guys
@TeamMarineService I had it on a older boat I had just to run around the river hog hunting. But it was a damn good motor. Carburetors sucked and had to put one lower unit on it
😂 they should do a whole Bass tournament where you have to run a Chrysler Force outboard on a Bayliner boat of some type it would be awesome there'd be more people getting towed in then there were contestants
In 82 my 135 johnson blew up,I was desperate for a motor and I heard about a Chrysler 135 that was new on a pallet for a grand,all the controls,stainless prop,huge 4 cylinder, 3 or 4 carbs,well got it on the boat,fired it up,put some run time,was actually fast,hauled it 3 hours,got a quarter mile from the camp and it quit,the ignition box just quit,put a new one in used it all summer,sold the whole thing,it looks like a model T motor.
Back when the old wedge shaped chryslers were a thing, we ran a boat race sanction called S.O.R.A (Southern outboard racing association). During some speed trials, there was a guy with a Critchfield that officially time clocked 85mph with a stock (powerhead) 85hp chrysler. The trim system was removed, and the engine locked in the perfect AOA, custom lower unit, custom prop, iirc a custom 12" mid-section, everything was lightweight as possible, all the things you see in racing. We couldnt figure out why he ran chryslers, unless he was a dealer but it was fast for the time, mid 1980s
There is always that one in a million that refuses to die that virtually had no maintenance. I have personally seen one on the back of a Bayliner capri that looked like it went through a hurricane. Force motors had so much smoke coming from them everyone thought they were on fire.
Definitely props to the Force outboard t-shirt making fun of those outboards. I'm somewhat tempted to actually want to buy one of those T-shirts. The problem with creating one to make fun of the Evinrude FICHT is doing so without using any trademarked logos that BRP still owns.
Had a friend that had a 9.9. When he would stop somewhere for a while and try to re-crank the engine, the cowling would literally blow off in the air. He had it serviced and we went out fishing. Told me if it ever happens again he was going to unscrew it from the transom and leave it in the lake. Guess what, WE PADDLED back to the ramp. He was true to his word!
Not saying I like mine, but I have an '86 125 (since '86) on a '72 glastron that saldly had the original merc 135 lock up. It still runs, but I want to repower before it blows.
FORCE stands for "F##king Old Rebuilt Chrysler Engine" What about the "L" drive andy? This video really got me laughing. I think you made it just for me. My dad had a mom and pop style repair shop that i started working at outta high school(1983) We were a chrysler dealer, then became a charter force service center when US marine acquired the line in 1984. I have a plaque from US marine proudly stating the fact. I still work on the occasional vintage outboards, 50's and up johnrudes, McCulloch, Distributor ignition chryslers and battery CD electric shift johnrudes. Wont touch a Mag CD force. When one shows up the saying is ,it has a "timing problem ". Time for a new engine.
I got a neighbor that bought a new in box force 40 hp about 15 years ago He put it on a stick steering 15 ft kingfisher bass boat. He says it’s been a good trouble free motor. Far as I know it’s still running .
I repaired one for some chick I knew, in hopes of getting a piece….. Didn’t get that piece, but did get two pieces when I dropped the lower unit. Never seen one of them with a two piece driveshaft until that day. What a hunk of shit! Had another one that snapped the top of the crankshaft off where the flywheel nut threaded on. Junk junk junk junk junk!!!! Only took me two of them coming into my shop before I never worked on them again.
The memories of my dad and I working on a 40hp force on a 16ft glass stream is the same as the rant in this video. People who haven't experienced the absolute hell it is honestly have no idea 😂
Hey i hate to say it but i have a 89 force 50hp and ive never done anything to it but a water pump and cleaned the carb . But ive always waited for the day day it blows up 😂
This makes me sad! lol I acquired a free 75hp Force off of a pontoon that they repowered . Was going to try it on a Sea Pro 170cc that I can get cheap $500 with no engine . But now I’m second guessing it! So what outboard would y’all recommend?
I guess Chrysler was going to "Force" you to buy their product 1 way or another 😅 I remember Dad was looking at those back in 86, but decided to go with Alumacraft and a 40 Evi. Im glad he never bought that Junk!
I recently bought a 98 bayliner with a 90 mercury force on it. Got a great deal runs perfectly perfect interior got it from the original owner. Wish me luck lol a lot a people say the late model ones are great so 🤷. If it goes ow well then ill trough a used 115 merc on it.
I will admit I had a 1998 Astro 172 Fish with a "Merc" Force 120hp back in the day, that I bought used. I had a lot of fun in that boat and caught a lot of fish. Only replaced the starter. Kept my sanity levels in check while I was in the Navy. After a 1.5 years of ownership, I traded the boat and got a new boat with a Yamaha. I have not looked back. My Yamaha will outlive me.
gamefisher 2 stroke 15 hp weighs less than 60 lb. mine has 9.9 decals and pushes my 12ft cartopper to 20 mph i have 2 parts outboards i picked up for 75 a piece i always rebuild the fuel pump and delete the primer ball and they fire right up
I remember when i was buying my first boat and i was all excited about this lowe fishing boat but had a force motor on it and my dad stopped me. I'll never forget him telling me don't buy ANYTHING with a FORCE motor on it. I ended up with a lund Alaskan with a 60 Yamaha. I paid 12k for it brand new. I can't find a used one for that price anymore. I'll never forgive myself for selling that boat
I wish you could see my view right now (back of boat force 40 in front of my f150 with the hood up because it has the 5.4 3v) truck needs new engine and now I find out my boat motor sucks! I’m completely defeated 😅
I had a 50 and a 75 same problem with both replaced leaking power head gasket shortly after it was f ed again f ing junk mine was by mercury still junk. Now my dad has an 85 hp gorse by Chrysler f ing junk to. In my opinion mercury took a tired and tried to polish it.
I had a force 5cyl I think it was a 150hp. Ran good the 3 years I had it. I would never purchase one again knowing what I know now. I was one of the few lucky ones.
If the Bayliner/Force combo were produced today, it would be branded Pittsburgh and sold at Harbor Freight.
Hahaha so true!
😂😂
How dare you!

Team Marine Service - The Force T-Shirt ---> www.teammarineservice.com/merch/p/team-marine-service-the-force
This is the freaking funniest and truest video yet. Growing up on a lake in the late 80s through the 90s seen those blow up almost daily
Hahaha they call it Force cuz its gonna Force u to get a new motor!! Great vid, laughed the whole time!!
You got that right!
The seams will fall out of that T-shirt just because it has Force wrote on it ! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Haha hope not! Ya never know
I made a good living working on Force in the 90s. I was Force, OMC, and Merc certified.
That whole segment was personal 😂😂😂😂
My local Force authorized repair center loved their motors, they were his highest income source. For a joke I had t-shirts made with a Force motor picture labeled Farce for his clients. It turned out to be his number one merchandise seller.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That’s awesome!!! Wonder if he has any still lying around?
This video was epic as hell. My dad had a force, had it for about 6 months, literally threw it in a metal bin and went and bought a brand new merc black max and ran that on his boat for about 15 years before he upgraded to a Yamaha.
Hahahahaha... This episode is classic! I love it when Andy gets worked up!
I bought my first boat, a 17' Larson with a 130 Mercruiser, in 1989. Not exactly the best boat around, but I recall looking at Bayliners and decided against it specifically due to the Force outboard.
I worked for a Bayliner boat dealer in Charleston SC back in the mid 80’s. We sold so many of those pos boats. Pure junk
See a lot of warranty work?
One of the best Team Talks for awhile. Love all the videos. But junk Force was Awesome!
May order a shirt now lol!
Glad you liked it Jon!
There is something satisfying to see Andy get all worked up, love it. Makes me feel less alone in the world and have to deal with shit.
We are in this together buddy!
I can see a guy trying to pull start his 85hp Force at the ramp in his jean shorts and Voits 😂
Ordering the shirt just to wear team marine and force together on a shirt! Andy is the man, love to see him get fired up! Hilarious
I love it! The biggest pile of shit ever made, and so many people that honestly thought they were good, until at BEST, second season with it! 🤣
I like the rant Andy! 😂
Love the rant Andy! Lmfao 😂😂😂
That comment about the Balsa Liner. Was uncalled for! 😅
I had a late model force by Mercury 70 hp.
Parts were quicksilver, so that made me feel like it really was a merc. Weak compression on top cylinder, outside of that, it was okay, well and the lower unit leaked too. Lol
Dam dude..that was harsh I can't quit laughing..I'm gona go find a force motor and send it to you...
Dang Jordan, you just had to get Andy's blood pressure up right before this Eclipse coming up on Monday 😅
🤣🤣🤣 Someone’s gotta do it!
I unfortunately owned one, the starter broke itself off the mount. Had it fixed and a month later gasket under the power head failed and was filling the cowling with water submersing the head. All this at under 40 hours, I was new and didn’t know any better. Only the 2nd worse outboard I’ve owned.
Wow what was the worst?
@@TeamMarineService A used 03 optimax, I can’t bash mercury for it. That motor nickel and dimed me until the day it died.
My 97 mercury/force 40 hp on my boat has ran great for years. The only things I have had to do is a carb clean and starter besides basic maintenance. Still fires right up at the turn of the key. Definitely a shaky motor at idle but I love it.
Under a certain amount of horsepower they aren't as much like a grenade
I've got a 86 bayliner capri with the force 125hp outboard. I love it because I can't kill it tops my boat about 55 mph and will do it all day long
Hahahahaha Andy made my day! I could not stop laughing! Because it’s true! I have out ran a force with my 1971 9.5HP Evinrude sport twin
Glad you enjoyed it!
I own a boar repair shop, worked on a 150 HP FORCE 5 cylinder 2 weeks ago JUNK . The guys family bought it new . JUNK head gaskets. US Marine .
Even though I have one I LOLed through this whole thing cuz U Right! When I bought my 1980 bass boat for $3500, it came with a Force 125 on it and whole extra one on a pallet!!

The video we didn’t know we needed 😂😂😂😂😂😂
" you know how many people died ". " 200 yards boom, row it back in " lmao
Bro I have never seen anyone hate a marine product so bad much less two.😂. That was epic.
over here in the land of oz we call the mighty Bayliner... bin liners. biggest floating turds in the river.😂
Hahahha
I put a 115 force on the back of a 17' alumaweld.. I loved it! It's a budget carbureted setup, keep it clean and maintained, mine was one that was a good one
Just bought my shirt and a sticker that's going right on my Force 125 motor!!!! 🤣 ...and you better Fing ship it!!!! 🤣
I came here for the sound effects and I was not disappointed lmao
I think all the folks that designed the Force outboards went over to BRP and helped them come up with the Project Ghost Rotax underwater motor.
A friend of mine bought a bumliner with a farce motor. I gave my opinion of it. He of course said it's a great boat. I haven't heard from him since. I was the best man in his wedding. I hope he's still alive!!!
RIP😪
Wow!!!!
@@Rob_Basich 😬
good video guys , it would be nice if you did a video about the johnson fast strike 150 since they put them on everything back in the early to mid 90's . thanks guys
We are planning a GOOD, BAD & UGLY video on the fast strike and Intruder soon
I've had one for the last 20 years, 90hp. Finally blew up last year
Wow you had some good luck with it!
@TeamMarineService I had it on a older boat I had just to run around the river hog hunting. But it was a damn good motor. Carburetors sucked and had to put one lower unit on it

All of the bass within sight of the landing is getting caught!
You're rants are borderline Bill Burr and its gold haha
🤣🤣🤣
Just dropped off this exact combo.... then I see this video lol
We will take good care of her!
Betty Lou and Timmy are hilarious!
In 82 my 135 johnson blew up,I was desperate for a motor and I heard about a Chrysler 135 that was new on a pallet for a grand,all the controls,stainless prop,huge 4 cylinder, 3 or 4 carbs,well got it on the boat,fired it up,put some run time,was actually fast,hauled it 3 hours,got a quarter mile from the camp and it quit,the ignition box just quit,put a new one in used it all summer,sold the whole thing,it looks like a model T motor.
I’ve got a 99 90HP force and I can’t find anyone to work on the carburetors! It’s on a 98 nitro! Andy dream rig! Lol
Yeah it’s going to be hard to get shops to work on it. Yes that babies my dream right now for sure! Hahaha
That was awesome, so true 🤣🤣
Andy probably saw the proof and it was blurry as shit because he forgot his glasses!!
LOL@"Drownding!" Great rant, because it's true.
My first outboard. The spark plugs didn't have a electrode. I was lucky no issue when I had it.
Wow! Nice

God I literally sprayed coffee out of my nose watching this haha 😂😂😂 I hate the force as well piles of sheeeet
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Andy what's your thoughts on
NORTHWOOD OUTBOARDS BY MERCURY MARINE could you make a video of your thoughts if you can thanx
Konnor Koski
I don’t think evening harbor freight would sell them to many returns 😂
Probably not!
Had an 1989 85hp on my bayliner. Thank God I had a 15hp Johnson kicker motor. Fished a few salmon derby’s with just the kicker.
Same motor I had. Dad bought it brand new! We never knew if it was going to run or not! Added to the excitement or boating I guess! 😂😂
Hahaha kudos to Johnson outboards for getting ya home
Definitely props to the Force outboard t-shirt making fun of those outboards. I'm somewhat tempted to actually want to buy one of those T-shirts.
The problem with creating one to make fun of the Evinrude FICHT is doing so without using any trademarked logos that BRP still owns.
We encourage you to find our Underboard shirt on our website! :)
The FICHT shirt is next

“It’s a Mercury Force.” 😂😂😂

The “L” drive with the two piece driveshaft? What the f**k was somebody thinking when they came up with that?
Wow so you know the headache first hand! I commend you sir
Unfortunately, I do kind sir. I had two come through my place, and they were the LAST two to ever invade my space.
I got a neighbor that bought a new in box force 40 hp about 15 years ago
He put it on a stick steering 15 ft kingfisher bass boat. He says it’s been a good trouble free motor. Far as I know it’s still running .
F@cking epic rant 😂🤣 love it
Everyone that worked for force went to work for rotex 😅
That’s Jordan’s new conspiracy theory! Haha
May the Force be with you
Where's Jason doesn't he love working on the force hahaha
Jason loves the Force
I repaired one for some chick I knew, in hopes of getting a piece….. Didn’t get that piece, but did get two pieces when I dropped the lower unit.

Junk junk junk junk junk!!!! Only took me two of them coming into my shop before I never worked on them again.
It was the plymoyh of the waterway
So the Force Outboards are worse than Chrysler outboards? Cause i got a 105HP Chrysler, and i'm trying to have faith in it 😭
Chrysler made the Force
@TeamMarineService I know, lol. Mines is a 1967 model, so maybe the older ones were better, lol 😅.
Tell us how you really feel! 😂😂. Great video.
I'd still argue the Force *looked* pretty cool. But that's the ONLY thing i'll give them.
That’s fair, to each their own.
@@TeamMarineService no one’s ever accused me of having good taste to be fair lmao
Speed Money No Brakes -- great video !!!!!!
Thanks 👍
The memories of my dad and I working on a 40hp force on a 16ft glass stream is the same as the rant in this video. People who haven't experienced the absolute hell it is honestly have no idea 😂
Hey i hate to say it but i have a 89 force 50hp and ive never done anything to it but a water pump and cleaned the carb . But ive always waited for the day day it blows up 😂
I got the same one, so far not a terrible motor. As dirt simple a motor you can find. Just put fresh gas in it.
Had a 91 125 force hard starting blow up the lower unit at 40mph glad to see that boat go.....
This makes me sad! lol
I acquired a free 75hp Force off of a pontoon that they repowered .
Was going to try it on a Sea Pro 170cc that I can get cheap $500 with no engine . But now I’m second guessing it!
So what outboard would y’all recommend?
You should do a video on the evinrude Looper’s
Plant that Purple Force on the back of a Purple Spectrum aluminum what a match made in heaven. Call it Purple Turd.
Be the favorite boat of all Minnesota Vikings fans! #gopackgo
@@TeamMarineServiceso true🤣🤣🤣
@TeamMarineService go pack!!
My cousin had a tracker pro team 175 with a 40 hp force engine and it lasted him just under 20 years. I believe he bought the boat in 2000.
Almost as good as a Chrysler outboard😂
I call them FARCE 😂
I guess Chrysler was going to "Force" you to buy their product 1 way or another 😅
I remember Dad was looking at those back in 86, but decided to go with Alumacraft and a 40 Evi. Im glad he never bought that Junk!
Had A 125 on a Astro bass boat lasted 20 hours swapped it out to a 115 mercury and sold the boat four months after I bought it
Wow! Went with less horsepower but picked up some mph I bet haha
@@TeamMarineService yes ended up going with a champion with a 175 wish I still had the champ
We were taught to never write a work order on them, help them turn around and leave the parking lot
Smart!
Let’s talk more about the VLX. Dissect one they looks awesome
We will do that in our upcoming iKon trip
I recently bought a 98 bayliner with a 90 mercury force on it. Got a great deal runs perfectly perfect interior got it from the original owner.
Wish me luck lol a lot a people say the late model ones are great so 🤷. If it goes ow well then ill trough a used 115 merc on it.
Hey can you guys do another budget bass boat video will nitro take the Win again? 😆
I will admit I had a 1998 Astro 172 Fish with a "Merc" Force 120hp back in the day, that I bought used. I had a lot of fun in that boat and caught a lot of fish. Only replaced the starter. Kept my sanity levels in check while I was in the Navy. After a 1.5 years of ownership, I traded the boat and got a new boat with a Yamaha. I have not looked back. My Yamaha will outlive me.

my first boat was a 96 skeeter ss140 base model, came with a 120 force, somehow made it last 18 years. guess the bass gods were smiling on me
I have the exact same boat and motor a 95 model runs great and handles chop really well, first boat I’ve ever owned been a good experience so far
They’re called bay anchors for good reason
Haha truth!
What about the CHYSLER OUTBOARDs?
Chrysler was bought by Bayliner and rebranded as Force. OG Chrysler outboards sucked too
Love watching this guy get worked up on shitty equipment!! Keep it coming.
They looked like a 80s jazzersize video threw up on them😅
Yes! lol
Great video and for sure the worst outboard motor ever to hit the market.
Thanks Thomas
I wish you could see my view right now (back of boat force 40 in front of my f150 with the hood up because it has the 5.4 3v) truck needs new engine and now I find out my boat motor sucks! I’m completely defeated 😅
That's some funny shit right there !
