Is the 1978 Prindle 16 the same as a 1976 Prindle 16 as far as interchangeable parts?? I asked this before with only one not sure answer.

Thanks in advance!

There are only two incompatable problem ares you will see.

1. Early hulls had no inspection ports at the midpoint with a
corresponding difference in trampoline configuration.

2. Mods done by previous owners. This one can be a real
bug-a-boo depending on how radical the mod is.

It might help to know which parts in particular.
