HELP..Can't date my Mercury outboard!

Could really do with some help on this on please?<br />I've bought a boat with a Mercury outboard. It was sold to me as a 50hp. I'd like to order spares but can't date the engine. The plate with the serial number is missing..bit worried about that!! Also it's been sprayed over...even more worrying!!! I know...I'm green tho!<br />The things I DO know are that it has a brown/gold band (scratched the paint off). It is 4 clinder, twin carb. Can't SEE any sign of a distributor. It's electric start. <br />Can anyone help.....please?<br />Also, is it regarded as a good engine?<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />Howard

Brown band is a 85 or 6 There should be a serail number stamped in the block
