Thank you sailirc and mmr,

My real problem is determining WHERE to look for this engine serial
number or which one of my numbers that I can't real good is the right
number... none of them even seem to fit in the categories of serial
numbers listed online

It will be on the engine's transom mount near or around the tilt
mechanism.

Just look for the manufacturer's plate - might need to power wash the
area to expose the plate.

Yup....older models like my british Seagull had the model/serial number
stamped in the steel, newer models have the metal plate with the
manufacturer, model number and the serial number. Easy to find on the
bracket of my 1986 Evinrude 6hp and the 2003 Johnson 25hp
