You guys will appreciate this tidbit, I think. I was reading/interpreting my serial # this weekend to figure out hull #. My manufac date is Mar 7, 1988 and hull # is 2562. I then stumbled on Com-Pac 16 history writeup at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/com-pac/conversations/topics/19494 (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/com-pac/conversations/topics/19494), which indicated that #2562 was the first Mark III boat. If this is accurate, I'm pretty excited to be the owner of the very first 16/3.
The most obvious change from factory is that previous owner gave the boat a pretty blue hull.
