Hey, it has the double doors to the forward cabin like mine.

The shot of the nav table reminds me, my head door swings only as far as the nav table. there is a bumper there that stops it and i put a hook on it to hold it back. But Bad Kitty's door goes all the way against the cabinet. Both are 1988. Which is the standard configuration?

Brad, the Rumboogie is an 88 and the head door swings to the locker and clears the nav table.
The forward compartment has a single door.

I guess they just go to work and say, lets build a boat today out of what ever we have lying around.

I also noticed that my dc pannel is from a much larger boat. it is bigger than all the other 285's I have seen and has 12 postions. most I have seen have only 8.

Brad, you are not alone.
Here is the 12 place panel I just replaced.
