No fair Loco.... it was a different model year and you know yourself how
boats can change radically from one model year to the next!!!

I understand that Hunter 285's might be incorporating 'Fat Buoy's on the
mast head in 2005 line up!
Then again you know how confusing it is ...what with all the annual, radical
