Show model boat? Or prototype?

Ok I found my next Boat. It's a 2001 Carver 350 Mariner in good condition with both motors replaced and under 100 hours.
The weird part is things on the boat its self.
I got the build sheets from Carver and they are pretty straight forward.
But the boat has a few things that dont quite belong to a 2001.
First the dash layout. Going thru the owners manuals for each year. This dash doesnt appear until 2004. Ok maybe someone changed it possibly. Under the parts list for 2001 it says hulls 1 - 13 have a different part number for the dash and this appears to be hull #1. Perhaps it was built for a show and these features were incorporated later
Then there's the dual air conditioners. 2 seperate air conditioner units. Again you dont see this until much later years.
It also has the waste tank monitor installed when the build sheet says it doesnt ( granted this could be someone installed it later)
And last in the very reat
R port compartment where the shower and wash down is there are 4 hose fittings like you screw a hose onto them and they are marked 2 for port and 2 for starboard. Have no idea what these might be for until I get it home
