straydog Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 My inlaws have a spirit i think 9.9. Im pretty sure its a suzuki, not sure the year but it has been a very good motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes, they are made by Suzuki and are actually very good, especially for the money. Sort of a cheap sounding name so I can understand the initial concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The Suzuki Spirit has already been nailed down.I believe the Force motors are what used to be Chrysler boat motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 In the force motors later years they were owned by mercury. They had a chrysler engine with a mercury lower unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 IMO an oars better than a Force, then again just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down2Earth Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 IMO an oars better than a Force, then again just my opinion. +1Those motors are what made Bayliners so cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicada Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 We have a 25hp Spirit. Hard to get parts. I had to go to Bismarck. It is not running now and we replaced it. So, if anyone needs one for parts, we can get rid of it.I don't remember what went wrong at the end. We did get twenty years or so of use out of it.
