« on: Today at 05:58:20 PM »Glenn, looking at the photo which Junaido posted, his boat does not appear to have the removable wood panel on the aft wall of the aft cabin (my '86 Mk I does not have the removable aft wall either).
Good point.
Here's what mine looks like.
Those two extra studs and nuts in the middle are a not-so-clever idea the PO had: he put a U bolt through to just in front of the wheel to hook a tether on. Not planning so well, he ended up drilling right into the damned idler wheel cover!!!
I'm sure that the earliest boats in 1986 had some details that were different than even later boats in that year. I had the pleasure of being on Al Watson's #55, Kindred Spirit (now owned by Dave Commando), many years ago, and noticed the differences in his companionway stairs from mine. He also didn't have the overhead handrail over the galley sink and kept hitting his head whenever he was on my boat!

I also recall reading about different water tanks, although I don't think bladders were ever OEM. I'll see if I can find my copy of the very first C34 brochures which did show some of the differences.
