Another idea, call your local Mercury dealere and give him the engine Model and number and he can tell you exactly what year it is.

I was thinking that it was a 2001. It on a 2001 boat but the owner is saying 2002 so maybe they purchased it in 2002.
Thanks

Went an saw the boat today. The tag on the motor say 2001, so boat and motor are 2001.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
