I think you'll find they are the same, Force Outboards started in the early 80's when Bayliner Boats bought Chrysler Outboards.

These are great as an anchor but as an engine they were a disaster and must be 1978-1980 at the latest.

1978 to 1984 - tended to have a bit of pull as usually high cc for power output. Were brought into UK in Eastleigh near Southampton - did the course in 1977 as we were a dealer.
Good attempt dont think I'd buy
