I'm pretty sure that the extra long shaft is the 25 inch.
A 99 model may be the looper....Some of our Johnny-Rude pros will know..

The looper,60 degree types i need to learn more myself.Not sure what my 81 model is..a 60 degree?

I know your 81 is a crossflow,the 60 degree is a looper that came out before the ficht,around 99 there were changes ,so i dont know what a 99 150 is for sure,im thinking 60 degree looper ,but want 2b sure it aint a ficht

Be thorough in your research. Some of the FICHTs were dogs.

The model number should tell you. J150EX***, where *** is the year and series is a 60 degree looper. If the model num is J150FX***, it may be a FICHT.

If the motor mounted trim switch is on the port side, it is a 60? looper. It it's on the stb. side, you have a crossflow.

If it is a FICHT, it will say so on the motor cover and the model number will have an F after the 150. You will also see a lot of wiring, computer box, and round injectors on the cylinder heads while the spark plugs are at an angle, not in the center of the head.

the 60? looper V6 came out in 1991.

It's a 60 degree looper for sure. If it is an Evinrude, it is a direct inject Ficht. If it is a Johnson, it is carburated. The last year OMC was in business was 1999, and their Ficht engines suffered from numerous problems. OMC had some campaigns (recalls) for the engines. Check to be sure all the updates are done if it is a ficht.
