Year of Johnson 75 Stinger

[Chuckster]

Can someone please tell me the year of my Johnson 75hp Stinger? The previous owner painted the entire motor black because he obviously didn't like the bright orange color. Here's the info:<br /><br />Model: 75ESLR75B<br />Serial: J4302003<br /><br />Also, anyone know of a place that sells new/used cowls/hoods? Mine is damaged...<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, Chuckster.<br /><br />That's a 1975 model.<br /><br />Good luck.

Thanks JB!<br /><br />Did you determine that from the 75B at the end of the Model Number, as in February 1975?

My father-in-law had a 1975 Stinger 75 on his boat when he was alive. Was a great engine.

It runs great, but I wish the guy hadn't painted it. It would be a cool retro-looking engine with that horrible orange paint job...
