Yep, that be a looper. The 93+ are good engines, some of the most releiable. But they were also the thirstiest 200/225's that OMC built(the old 235 still reigns as king of the fuel hogs). Solid engine though, one of the ones you can count on to get you home. Just have to watch out for block rot in em. They are the closed deck blocks and are known to rot around the cylinder walls behind the head gaskets. This is why my 98 now has a 92 powerhead on it, one of the PO's had swapped them out most likely due to rot.
