Late 60's, early 70's evinrude 80hp

[whatamidoing]

Just picked up a new(new to me) boat. Have no idea what year the motor is. It is an 80hp evinrude selectric. I have been searching the net, but have been unable to find any info. How can I find out what year this thing is?? The motor is massive. The only thing I found that looks remotely close to it is this link...

http://cgi.ebay.com/1961-AD-EVINRUD...VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 ... the motor has the same shape as the picture, and this pic is what makes me think its a late 60's, or early 70's. I will get a picture put on in the near future as soon as I get a good one taken.

Thanks,
