Changes to new design?

This is a little off the wall - but does anyone know if the factory changed the diameter of the bow & stern pulpit rails over time?

I have a 1987, and the bow and stern pulpits look noticeably larger in diameter than some of the later versions of the "new design." I was looking at another new design, of an unknown year, in a marina recently, and it definitely looked to be smaller diameter stainless tubing on the pulpits. I was curious if the factory tried to bring the boat's racing weight down sometime after the 1987 production year. Not a big deal obviously, but I've been wondering if my eyes were deceiving me...
