I have a 83 115 . it has pistons that are not flat so guess its a crossflow from what Ive read on here. but whats the advantages and disadvantages of both designs?

Keeping it simple..... the looper engines are more fuel efficent and seem to have more power per hp ie...... a 140 V4 looper will run away from a 140 V4 crossflow engine.
