I have read on here about the location of the hooks on the hull to tell which hull the boat has. What do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]505224[/ATTACH]

The whole lifting hook placement confuses me a bit. Attached pic is an '02 (air intake on the gunwale) and the lifting hook looks the same as the above pic.
The strakes would be my determination if the hull has been updated.
Boatnt, do you know if the steps themselves are different on the early hulls?

The u bolts, lifting hooks, tie downs...whatever you want to call them have less room to the top of them and more room to the bottom. They are not closer to the bottom. The boat in the top projects outward for the swim platform...it is close to this. The old bottom it is more centered.
As fish stated in late 01 they started on the bottoms but there were also changes in the deck with more reinforcements in 02. This is my understanding from my boats PO and 2 of his buddies that had them built in succession.
