I learned the difference between a a 355 and 356 is "one" and Kenny then offered a little more clarification, the final digit describes the windows on these particular models. I have an '89 Santego 2767 --- I am pretty sure the 27 is my length, what's the "67" designate?

Its the model series.... Take a look at some of the "sticky" threads in this section for more information on Carver history, but the "6x" series essentially denotes a flybridge sedan with a relatively large cockpit and smaller cabin. For example, the "5x" as in 2357, 2757 would be an express cruiser like the Montego, the "9x" would be the large cabin, small cockpit Mariners, the "8x" would be the old fashioned trunk cabin, small flybridge (optional) such as that found on the Monterey, the "2x" would be the more substantial cabin/flybridge of the trunk cabin Voyager or the Convertible, and "0x" denotes an Aft Cabin model...
Jim, that one was a case of an Evolutionary vestige, Carver-style. Go to the Carver web site and look at all the interesting .PDFs of the 1950s/60s/70s and 80s. Its a great corporate history lesson, but also will give you the clues as to the models. The "2x" series was a sedan, such as the 3120 Voyager, 3326 Voyager, 2826 Voyager - same hull as the corresponding 3180 Monterey, 3396 Mariner, 2986 Mariner, but above the gunwales, a very different boat. So when the '80s came along, the 2826 Voyager and 2896 Mariner shared the same hull. Then along came the "x7" series, the all fiberglass hulls. Carver offered two layouts in the 28 foot range, as before, although the deck, hull and cabin sides were the same, the interiors were different, so to keep consistent with history the 2827 remained the Voyager and the 2897 remained the Mariner...
A car-based analogy would be the Buick Riviera, Oldsmobile Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado. All 3 were quite distinct from each other in the 1960s and early 70s, but by 1979 they were essentially the same car with different trim...
