You guys make it look easy...so here goes. New to me bayliner with a repowered older merc outboard. I have checked other websites,serial # charts, etc, but can not confidently pin down the year. On the engine block is 3872124. on the transom clamp is 6345015. 4 cylinder,850(85hp) according to cowling. This could be a mix and match arrangement, I do not know its history.Am I looking at the wrong numbers?thanks in advance. Sean
