HP of Mercruiser 4.3

[helimech2003]

Well, after searching for awhile I need some help determining the HP of my 4.3. I just got the boat last fall (1989 Searay 20CC ) and thought it was a 4.3 LX but, someone had replaced the flame arrestor cover. it is a 1989 4.3 v-6 with a 4bbl carb. I have read that it is the 205hp but, have also read that it could be a 185hp. The title says it's a 175hp but, the title for my 98 seadoo says it's only 30hp lol. Not really a big deal but just like to know.
Also the original brochure I downloaded from Searays website says the two optional engines are the 175 and the 205.
Sorry, I don't have the S/N off of it right now. Forgot to look before I left the house this morning

The LX was the only one with a 4 bbl carb in 89. The attachment shows the choices.
