4hp Johnson. what year?

[slayin1993]

Hi there. I have a 4hp Johnson and im trying to find out the year. the model number is 4W77B. I was told the year is 1977 but i have looked up some pictures comparing them to my motor and mine looks alot newer. I also remeber when it recently got tuned up the guy say somewheres in the 1990's range. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Looks like a 1977.

They started using letter codes in 1980.
