Is my 1995 Johnson 130 really a 115 or a 150?

I just rec'd the factory shop manual for my Evinrude 1995 90hp. After looking thru it quickly it is evident that the same shop manual is used by both Johnson and Evinrude (no suprise there). It also covers several sizes of motors. The 90hp and 115, 150 and 150c. No comments, ont he cover anyway, about the 130hp. Is my 130 a "beefed up" 115 or a "downsized" 150? If it is a "downsized" 150, what do I need to do to get it up to the 150 rating? My luck its either a totally different motor or it is a "beefed" 115.<br /> The manual probably addresses this someplace, but I just haven't found the page yet.<br /> Thanks for your help again.

Your factory manual references to the V-4 "cross-flow" and V-6 "cross-flow" OMC engines. Not to be confused with your "looper" 130 V-4 engine. Not in the same solar system. For the correct info, et the correct manual!

Thanks<br /> <br /> Just what I was afraid of, the 130 is a totally different motor. Which is better the "cross flow" or the looper" and in a nut shell what is the difference. Thanks
