yea, typically with Gale made Sea Kings, you take the two numbers before the GG and reverse them and that is your model year.

It's been repainted and i can't tell what the two knobs on the front are for. Choke and idle speed?

The choke is a push/pull knob. Bottom round knob is high speed carb rich/lean adjustment, top round knob is low speed carb rich/lean adjustment. Clockwise leans the mixture, c-clockwise richens it. There's a help file in the FAQ's on this board that tells you how to adjust them.
