Hello, I bought a 1987 proline 23 walkaround with what appears to be an original to the boat yamaha outboard. Now here is where I have my suspicions. The hood says it's a 200hp v6 2.6L precision blend, but the tag is somewhat scratched to hell and nothing on it suggests a 200hp, it appears to state it's an excel and to my understanding the only excel is a 225. The only info I found on the code is in Europe it refers to a 1986 225, but here in the states there was no 225 in 1986 from my research. Can anyone give me other ways to confirm what I have?

look for a round sticker on block close to starter motor with the serial # printed in it and post that #,
Someone might be able to use that to find Model and year
