help! what year is this yamaha outboard?

[rockn n rollin]

a friend bought a older 1992 cc fishing boat with a 115 yamaha 2 stroke engine on it. its grey in color with a silver streak wrapping around the cowling that has yamaha on the sides and 115 v4 on the back of the cowl. the first character of what we think is the serial number is the letter L. have not looked under the hood so i don't have any clues. ANDY ! hope you see this post.
