I want to take it and get it worked on but i dont want to get screwed it cranks everytime but it just has no speed. also what is the average cost of a 50hp motor

I had a 120hp Force on my Skeeter and it blew up. I talked to a few mechanics and the average answer is that the Frce motors were throw-away motors. You cannot find parts, and I have a boat mechanic that straight up told me he would not touch it because it could happen again in a few months. I have also been told that a 90hp Yamaha would equal the 120 Force that I had. I know I did not answer your question, just letting you know the problems I had with mine.
