The Boating Forum - 96 johnson motor question

Hi,

I'm looking at a 1996 crestliner eagle with a 96 johnson 150 on it. For the life of me I can't find anything on the motor. The owner says it's a "counter rotating" motor so I assume that someone got a deal on a motor that was built to be part of a pair. The model number is MJ150WCLDC and the serial number is 03782075.

Why can't I even find what model this is, and how good is this motor?

Thanks

Can't figure it out either

W would be commercial
L 20" shaft
DC would be model year 68

That's why I posted here. Was trying to figure it out but it's definitely not a 68. Here's the best picture I have of it.

Check this link to figure out what the model # means:

.

Those sheets don't help since I can't even come close to finding the numbers and codes on them. Any other ideas?

Thanks
