Gear that's been added Marine air, new tunes and new tapestry make life aboard better.  
Structural or complex improvements none  
The boat's best features The 87 model has a wrap around salon - nice touch. Also 13 years old and still no leaks... Lucky I guess  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Replace pumps but over all no unexpected problems
