BTW.... sold that awesome I had. A guy from the east coast bought it. Fixed a few of the little problems right up and was out doing 70's within a week or so. For starters when he came out to water test he brought out a regular 25 pitch bravo prop. The one on the boat was waaayyyyy less diameter and it was definately the reason for the blowout (think it was an outboard prop, "trophy prop"). Only other major problem was the steering. I know he fixed it real quick but not quite sure what he did.

Here is a picture of my Motor!

did you get this thing to work yet?

With Redline? He likes to have negative comments on things he has no knowlege of.

The Force. They could not seem to get an engine to last past a few minutes and did/could not stand behind the motor so the owner never took delivery of the boat.

Well Rik, I only replyed to your post about the engine, but if it makes you feel better ok I am a dumb ass, and thats ok, but not only in my opinion but the majority of most performance boaters don't think the single engine surface drive is the way to go...no matter what the HP...I will stick with my new SCX, no R&D needs to be done, its an awsome drive, and with what I'm running its just fine....Later:asskiss:

There you go again, making implications with out facts. If anyone needs you to speak for them it should be yourself and no one else.

This boat (Force Offshore 29') has had engine problems and for some reason you, through your clairvoyance, have come to another conclusions without merit and as far as I can tell you are attempting to do nothing other than to tear others down with your comments and assumptions.

As far as single engine boats with surface drives or catamarans to be more specific, the ones I build run one hell of a lot faster than yours has or ever will.
