Definately 225 carbs. Also make sure that you get the right ones and swap ALL of the jets INCLUDING the brass pick-up tubes inside of the bowls. OMC made ALOT of changes to the pick-up tubes from year to year, and even sometimes had 3 different variations in the same year. I would also pull the intake off and replace the reeds. If it backfired hard enough to pop out the carbs, then the reeds will have micro cracks in them from it. And when a metal reed breaks, it will go through the engine and either knock a hole in the block in the rod slot(best case scenario), OR it will destroy a piston and sleeve and could even push the sleeve through the head.
