Hmmm....."bought it from the 2nd owner 18 years ago" would seem to indicate that it's not an '86.

The rod storage areas in the older 20's moved around a bit: some remained open to within 4" (such as the '71's and a bit later) of the anchor locker. On the '69's they were a bit farther back and stopped several feet shy of the anchor opening.

Examples of several different model years can be seen on the opening page under 20 footers.

Do you have a title? and if so, what does it say about year of manufacture?

Got any photos??
