    Yeah, I don't think there is much difference between these 2 years besides power. If I was going for a 50' Post, I'd try to go newer and 820 MANs would be my preference.

    Look at the front window configuration also. The first 50 came out in 1989. For the lack of better words, the forward house first came out with windows, then all fiberglass with the impression of windows, then smooth wrap around. It has always been a 3 stateroom, 2 head configuration, with some exceptions. The layouts are basically the same with modernization over the course of production. I believe they all have the same bottom, with 16'11' beam and props that are nicely separated for great handling. the 50/820 package in later models is the highlight of Post production boats, IMO

    It seems the fuel tank are in different places. The 90 it's between the man's. I don't see it on the 95.

    That is correct. I believe after 95 they moved the fuel tanks from the engineroom to aft under the cockpit, which greatly improved engineroom access.

    Not sure, but on the newer ones there are two tanks, one tank was under the cockpit floor and the other tank forward of the engine room.

    If you are signed into this site. go to the top of the page and choose "inbox", then "start a new conversation", put Beau in "participants". This will send an email to Beau and start a private conversation between both of you not showing anyone email or phone info which you don't want on a public site. I think this is what Beau is waiting for.
