I hadn't thought of aftermarket change although I don't recall the cabin top having molded traveler mounts. I guess the listed year could have been incorrect, I never got serious enough to even verify the HIN. Yeah it's all very interesting how the change happened, Frank's was built only five hulls after mine. I guess it was a pretty significant design change and all the way down to the keel stub. The engine kind of makes sense as according to Universal the 5416 last year of production was 1983, so at some point in 1984 Ericson ran out of those and went to the new model. It would be interesting to compare the month of production on our boats to see if there was a gap at some point while they retooled.
