The serial No. will tell you what year the motor is. Looks like it sat in the water a long time! How well does that power trim work? I wouldn't want to have to overhaul that power trim unit - primary tools required would be Kroil, the acetylene wrench and an air chisel! (Ask GFS how much fun that is!) Did you find out what size prop is on it?
The V-4 block is just the V-6 block with 2 cylinders cut off, so the V-4's with V-6 lower units are common, especially on the modern 25" motors.
Looks like an EZ Loader trailer under it with the good new style rollers; good stout trailer, just check springs and rear X-member for rust. I finally replaced my rear X-member after 25 years because it was looking ugly, but it still had pretty decent wall thickness. Original thickness was 3/16" and it still hadn't rusted all the way through! Denny
