Not sure if it will complete this year or not.
There's Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, all the holidays from Thanksgiving thru New Years + whatever they have planned for the Miami Boat Show.
I'm good w/ the timing however it works out.
As for the hull #'s I used to think the same thing but 39- indicates fishing 39' boat & 37- indicates 39' pleasure boat as best I understand it.

No not a live well, I believe it's access to the bilge where all the sea cocks & fuel filters are as well as the internally plumbed engine freshwater flush.
On my 34 that's what was under the bench seat cushion. There is also a deck floor access just ahead of the bench seat but that cavity is huge so I don't think one could reach all the way back to the transom from the floor access.
Access from the stern swim platform occurs from either side of the center bench seat, it's the outer seat bottoms that are removable and SeaDek typically installed as a boarding pathway.
Not sure if many have seen or noticed but the rear swim platform is completely redesigned and now 1 smooth surface w/ out the hinged access door to the outboard mounting wells. It looks way better and is much more functional. Since the bench goes all the way across the stern w/o any walk-thru there's no way for water to enter the cockpit when you come off plane. This is a real issue in a competitor CC, water will flood the entire cockpit floor up to the helm if they don't ease of plane. I know b/c I was out for a sea trial @ MBS and my socks and backpack got soaked.
The Dive Door is Standard on a 390 Sport
