175hp evinrude pics, Year of this model?

[hardboiled]

I cant see the engine in person cause its posted online. Just asking if someone might know the average year by looking at the Model design.

but now i found its 25"shaft and i need a 20"

Well for future reference this is the location of the model and serial number on those V6 outboards (port side).

Think '83 was the first year the VRO came out but on certain engines, then all after '84.
If no evidence of a VRO pump hung on the port side of the engine or if the cowl dosen't have a VRO sticker, it may be 82 and older.

Just other question, When i buy a OUTBOARD, does it need a tittle?

How i see people selling a boat without little? can they navigate like that?

I got a paper of this boat i bought but i havent change this under my name yet. i still need to go do it but i never done this before.

Also what could happen if someone sell me a engine without any paper? i ask once for an outboard forsale online and it was cheap without paper

let me know thanks

Depends on your state.
reels state requires a title on outboards in order to collect taxes but strangely dosen't require them on trailers.

Crossflow Power!!! if it runs and has good comp i would go for it.

Here is Georgia's requirements.
Boat title: bill of sale with former owners name, signature, address, HID.
If current and from same state, just send in the previous owners registration card and filled out transfer and renewal slip in your name and address with appropiate amount of money.
Out of state or new: bill of sale and application for new registration (new to this state or new).
No HID number, salvaged or homemade: apply for inspection by DNR, if approved they will affix HID number.
No bill of sale, no registration possible.

Trailers must have mfrs number and bill of sale and be checked by nearest police station annex (that actually does inspections). Then go to tag office for tag registration. Homemade trailers must apply for state issued homemade trailer number then do all of the above, except bill of sale.

Outboard motors: They don't care

I agree with ct, it runs and $600, go for it!!!

I was checking the rules on Florida State but its a little confusing reading all that.

it doesnt say anything about outboard engines but what happens if someone sell me a stolen motor ?
im confuse about regulations, The title is only for the BOAT HULL and TRAILER? Engine dont need title or serial number?

Where online do i check the engine MODEL SERIAL to see the year of the engine? for a mercury
