.. an outboard mechanic I am not, but I do have the same motor, a 150....on the front of your engine cover, does it say "silver star series"....looks like it does in pic #5. Good reliable motor if it's worth fixing, best of luck to ya. The hull looks like it didn't get that beat up,with the exception of the windshield......the boat in the left background, pic#1 looks like it didn't fare to well
