Hard to say from the pic, but it looks like an 85-89 model. I believe in 90 they went to the darker paint color for the cowling and such. If it's the early 85-87 style, they were known to have some running issues if the carbs are not set dead on PERFECT, and even then they can bog coming out of the hole sometimes. 88 made them better as they did away with the throttle activated switch, and went to an actual throttle valve sensor to control the timing advance through the IC ignition. Those engines can kick even seasoned guys butts, so be prepared to be patient and learn to get it to run right.

As to your seadrive, most parts for them are just 115HP JOHNSON parts for an 83 model.
