Can't decipher serial number on Johnson Super Seahorse

[jim327brooks]

I bought an old boat that has a 60 hp Johnson Super seahorse on it. I have the model and serial number but can't find any place that can tell me the year or anything about the motor. Any websites that can help? Model number VXL-11C Serial number J2517602

VXL-11C will tell you the year. Do a search on it. early-mid 60's V4 right?

My guess from what I have found so far is maybe '64 or '65.
