Yes totally different animal. Nowhere close to mounting up. I suppose it has to be the newer model as the other fellas have done the swap. I was unlucky in doing so, as inhadnt ever seen any posts regarding the years and so on. Now we all know. Only thing is most people by the time they sell the carb, they don't know what year it.came off of etc. Some do, not all tho. Good post and hope I didn't step on any toes and were all good. Yall take it easy, happy fishing and boating!! Jonah
Also , i do have a 2 stroke 97 model. If I knew how to post pics I would. It keeps uploading but must not be same format. I tried iPhone 11 and note 10. Neither did. Tried. Sorry
