The looper will have a narrow cowling like a MERC, whereas the cross-flow will be wide like MJ's 225(just not quite as wide). Another easy way to tel is if the exhaust cover has a big bubble in it and is removeable. The cross flow is a solid engine that won't let you down, but D*MN will it burn some gas. My 83 115(same as a 85+ 90) will burn an easy 10-12 gallons per hour at cruise, where as my 85 140 makes over 50% more HP and burns 8-9 gallons per hour at cruise.
