Craig,
The original poster specified hull #325, so I reasoned that it would be
one of the original design (probably 1980). Here's the reason I know
that my #334 was the first of the new design. Well, first of all, I
knew that 1981 (my year) was when they made the changeover. Then I was
looking at a crimson-hulled M-17 on a trailer in Superior, Wisc. (after
I had my boat), and when glancing at the hull number I saw that *it
too* was #334 (but was an "old-style" hull and deck). When I mentioned
that on the board, Jerry said something to the effect of "Oops, we must
have forgotten to change number for the first of the new boats." My
boat also had something else funny about the hull number, although my
memory is foggy - perhaps the "17" was missing - so it wasn't exactly
the same serial number as the older #334, although they were both #334.
Okay, on to your photo :-)
