What are the main differences between the two models?
 
quote from This Is Spinal Tap: "the difference is one, now, isn't it?"
 
Thank you for your deep, meaningful and inspiring response. I was never good in adding and subtracting.
 
While Bruce's response is correct, check out Pete's sticky - "Useful Carver Info" and compare the specs head-to-head. I have no earthly idea except it looks like the 356 replaced the 355 and whoever was in charge of the model change wasn't too clever in re-name department...
 
The 355 has windows in frames that slide open in the salon, the 356 has bonded in fixed windows that do not open. Aslo the interior are a little different with the 356 being laid out a little more openly. The "5" indicates the opening windows, the "6" indicates the bonded windows, so the "naming department" got it right I'd say
 
As well as getting rid of those stupid long skinny leak-prone sliding windows in the aft cabin and replacing them with "proper" boat portholes.

Same thing with the 325 vs 326.

Those aft cabin windows are the one thing I dislike about the boat.
 
Just happened into a real clean 355 (1995) today and liked it a lot. Anybody know if these have keels or are keel less? TIA
 
My 325 doesn't have a keel. Don't know if this parlays into a 355 or not.
