Most are postives. The stronger four stringer system, the drains out the back vs threw the floor, the consoles are smaller (many don't like the wide ones) The fuel tank may be under the console tho and not under the deck. The bow rail lay out is a little different if I remember correctly. The ply wood used seemed to be better. I guy here did a 67 bow rider and it still had solid ply wood in it after all these years. Seems like it had Columba or some odd county name stamped on it. Not sure if it was a better grade ply or if they just took more time soaking it with thinned resin before glassing it. The mosely hulls had a smaller pattern non skid where the potters have the plank deck looking nonskid pattern. One negative thing is that the deck height is lower buy 2" than the latter 74 up hulls so you may want to raise the deck. To me the older the better and better built. One thing to watch for on the older ones is the crazing in the jel coat. If you are luck it will still have the pot metal badges on the sides...
