Im pretty sure its a late 80s johnson 200. well the guy i bought it from sai
d weeds got up in the intake and it ran hot and the top cylinder is bad... being new to outboards I have no clue, everyone that ive talked to said that it will cost just as much to fix it and just get another motor. Did say the lower unit was rebuilt, all new crap. one person that looked at it said it had a whole new electrical system wires plugs starter. i have a closer pic but dont know how to load them in a profile.. ill put it as my signature. you guys have been a real help..

Your picture looks more like a cross-flow cowling to me. The loopers beveled off at the top, and the cross flows were flat and boxy. If it is a cross-flow200, then it is an 85 or older. In 86 the 200 cross-flow became 150 or 175 depending upon wether it was a feeshin motor or a pro motor. The 235(AKA 2 thirsty 5) became the 175, or an XP or GT pro style engine. It doesn't appear to be a looper cowling to me, but I could be wrong(been wrong many times before). It also appears to be a 20 leg on it which will allow more engine choices. Remember that you can run a 25" shaft opn a 20" transom with a jack plate, but you can't run a 20" shaft on a 25" transom without cutting it down to a 20" or going with a setback bracket.
