I have a rather blunt question, and it doesn't really refer to repairing anything, but I'm looking for a service manual for my 2000 Johnson 55hp 2cyl. commercial outboard. I was told when I bought it that it was a 1998, but after cross-referencing the M# the other day it turns out it's a 2000. I've had it for 3 years now and never knew, LoL.
Anyways, I can find only 1 service manual for it on ebay, located here:

Does this one seem or look like a factory service manual? All the factory manuals I have seen don't cover this large of a variety of engine, especially not varying between a 2cyl and 3cyl (I'm assuming the larger engines are 3cyls. since my '94 60hp is a 3cyl.). It looks right, but I just wanted to get other people's opinions on it before buying it. I have a cheap Seloc for the engine (which covers many years and HP's), but I want the real thing.
If anyone can verify for me this is the correct manual I'd appreciate it.
