Which Outdrive

Just bought a 1973 houseboat. It has twin 6 cyl 170 HP motors. The transom shield says "Chrysler" but the drives appear to be 250 VP Aquamatics. Did Chrysler make a drive or do these take VP parts?

Also the specs say the twins have 3 carbs each. Would these be two barrel? Could there be different mfrs or can we pinpoint who might have made these?

I'll get in the engine compartment in a few days to really check things out but if anyone knows anything I'd be delighted.
 
While you may see the Chrysler name on the rear of the transom shield, I can assure you that these are all Volvo Penta.

The carburetors are likely Solex.
