There are definatly differences between the origonal set (the 8460) and the
re-releases (the 8431\8438). For example, the 8460 used 2 of part Technic
Connector Toggle Joint Toothed whereas the 8431 uses a single Technic Angle
Connector #6 for the same thing. There are other differences also, the
insutrctions include a sheet that tells you what the differences are.
I dont know what the differences are (if any) between the 8431 and the
8438. I suspect it might be that its got new packaging and since its new
packaging, its a new item in the lego databases (so that the new box
printing is used instead of the old one) and therefore it needs a new set
number.
Since the maresk boat has the same box, stickers, instructions & parts, it
doesnt need a new set number.

| (...) Well I guess they have an example they can use as a test case now: [LEGOSet 8460] [LEGOSet 8431] [LEGOSet 8438] As far as I know, there is no difference between these sets except the number. I don't own 8438 so can't say definitively. ROSCO (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
