Just googling with a part number is often useful!

Googling 990231M found:

<a href="http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/omc_sterndrive/order_pre-1980.html">OMC sterndrive service and parts manuals</a>

Which describes it as a 1976 OMC 190HP sterndrive engine.

This looks like it might be a modern HID (Hull Identifer), which would
tell you who made it. I could SWEAR I found (and posted?) some URL's
for good sites explaining HID's to the list recently, but I can't find
the message just now!

Ray tried posting a photo of the boat to the list, but the message was
larger than the list allows, so I've put the photo at:
