I'm restoring an 89 force 216 and am looking for original owners manual type info, and i'm trying to find out what makes the models, force, drs, dvx, also dry weight, fuel capacity, where i can find a replacement cuddy hatch cover, or just any other thoughts on the boat!! thanks,

You might give Wolfs Marine in Benton Harbor Michigan a shot. Their number is 269-926-1068. I got a few oddball parts for my Outlaw from them. Supposedly they have a pretty large scrapyard of misc. boats and parts, and also new parts. Worth a shot anyway.

Baja will answer a lot of your questions as well. I called them a few times on my force 265. they always answered and faxed stuff over for me.
