The exhaust ports below the cowling are the dead giveaway to it being an early model looper. In 88 they all went to the higher exhaust port. Also the single pack off on the side vs the big one in the middle also indicates 85-87. A stock 85 140 would have had a V6 style lower with the bigger prop, but in 86 most had the V-4 lower and 87 many went back to the V6 lower on 25" shaft engines. Just a few of the identifiers to narrow em down.
