This is the 1951 edition/model year.
1951 was the first "modern" 25hp, had full shifting and remote tank. That basic design evolved over the years to the 30, 35, and 40 which stayed in the line up through 1976

The 40 HP had a second order reverse whirl resonance that caused the flywheel to gyrate by 1/2". If you ever watched one with a strobe, it would scare the hell out of you. As much as it moved, we could run the engine a peak resonance for hours on end and never fail the crank. Another useless peace of info about OMC. We called them the Flying 40 internally.
