When I was looking for a 320, I spent a lot of time reading old posts on
this site and studying the association webpage, and also looking at
information on Yacht World about 320s for sale.

As well as I could determine, Catalina went to the deep bilge sump
around # 281, but kept the original molded one-piece hollow structural
grid.  Then at # 355 they switched to glassed-in individual foam
stringers. The later is preferable because there is no place for any
fluids to hide.

There is an easy way to tell from pictures whether a boat is # 355 or
above.  Before # 355, there was wood flooring all the way from the main
cabin into the forward cabin. Starting with # 355, there is an
athwartship piece of fiberglass (maybe a couple inches wide) that
separates the wood flooring between the two cabins.
