[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 482756, member: 22613"] The powerhead gasket is not too bad on most motors. Get an early start and you can be done by lunch time, if everything goes well. Could also be the transfer cover gaskets, head gasket, thermostat housing, etc. I would check them all over very carefully before pulling the powerhead, obviously water runs downhill and the actual source may not be readily apparent. Whether or not you're willing to put that amount of work into a Force is up to you. I think the later ones were actually pretty good motors, despite their reputation, if you can still get parts. The boat looks straight and clean, definitely worth repowering, worst comes to worst. [/QUOTE]
