we need model" off id plate. it is a V-4. they did not come out until 1958, so if it is original to the boats, i would say it is a 1958 50hp.

here are some model #s
50 1958 V4-10
50 1959 V4-11
75 1961 V4A-13
75 1962 V4A-14

I believe it is a 1964 or 1965 90hp. How about a picture of the lower unit?

EDIT: Yep, a 1964 or 1965 90hp it is. The 4 barrel carburetor is the give-away. Not a 1966 100hp because it doesn't have the rectifier diodes on the flywheel gear guard.

1964 model V4M-10
1965 model V4M-11

Very few differences between the two.

Definately not a '58 or '59 Fat-Fifty. I thought the fatty was ugly, but that motor is uglier.

Ok, My '77 Merc IL6 was a lot prettier than my Fat-Fifty. However, my '98 Johnny V6 is a lot prettier than my '93 Merc V6.
