The decals on the cowling are for the 1981 model year.-----Simple.------Unless this motor comes with warranty I would want to witness / do a compression test.

Thanks I will do a compression check, what else do you think would be best to check?
He just told me that he hasn't been out on the water for 9 months but he does start it and run it every 2 weeks.

Do you know much about these motors are they good?
 
I could rebuild that engine from top to bottom without a glance at a manual.------On a 40 year old motor condition is everything.
 
Not to worry they are the same motor.-----Some might not have trim / tilt.------Some might be 20" shaft verses a 25" shaft model meant for a 25" tall transom.
