Help me ID this motor.

[yodel3]

Got this old johnson and the ID tag has been removed. I know its old. Probably 70's but I would like to put some effort into getting it running. I can't get the manual without an ID. I don't even know the horsepower.

If pics don't show, they can be seen at

Im going to give a guesstimate,20 hp 1970 ish evinrude its blue,but has been painted ,could be a johnson I know its not enough for you ,but you might be able to do some google,or classified with my guess and add ,subtract yr.Possibly a 25 hp ,but Im leaning 20.Have you looked on top of the eng.block for the quarter sized disk with numbers on it.They do fall out,but just wanted to give you the hint.Heres a link to one for sale , http://providence.craigslist.org/boa/723367619.html

Get the model number off the plate:

I know it looks like the plate is there but it is not. I thought it was painted over but I stripped it all the way down to the metal, and there is nothing. I think the plate was removed but the two pins that used to hold it are still there.
