Year of motor

[hemi rt]

Was looking at a boat to buy, seller is trying to tell me the motor is a 1987, searched the web and came up with the following
- 1971 60HP Evinrude.

The model number is 60172E
the Serial number is C85347

Am I correct in the year etc.?

Thanks in advance for your help

Agree, slam that guy if off e-bay.1971 to 1987 is a few years off!
