Anybody see anything that helps identify the approximate year model of this OB? I know the cowl may not match, but any clues would be helpful . . . Also, any chance this unit has trim and tilt? Thanks.

if the cowl matches my guess would be a early(1980-1983) 1980's model year. I consider myself to be pretty good at determining engine era by just looking at the cowling. Yes, i beleieve there is a chance it has PT@T.

blue band is late 70's. if it was in the 80's it would have a brown band.

I had an 82 and it had the 6 inch metal band with a cam that wraps all the way around the cowling. The graphics were exactally the same color except it was a 40 not 50.
