On the hard, at South Point Marina. A "for sale" sign in the window, Washington State registration. I was on my boat, took that photo from the water. Belong to anyone here?
 
They must be lost. 😀

There are worse places to be lost this time of year. 😉 I shot this yesterday from the boat...

Remember that view, Herb? 😉 Miss ya!
 
Shall we play Sherlock Holmes?
It looks like a R25 Classic based on the porthole window forward of the two larger rectangular side windows. But the radar is down to the side like the newer model RTs. But did they do that side radar stowage on a few of the 2008 R25s too?
And the Bimini canvas is stowed towards the stern, not forward like our frame folds. It’s the first on a R25 Classic I’ve seen facing aft.
Then one more unanswered question is why the boat is not listed FSBO here, on boattrader or on craigslist. If I was trying to sell a boat I’d do more than just park it with a for sale sign in the window....
And, of course, what’s a WA registered boat doing in TX anyway?
Let the guessing begin!
 
Great job Sherlock,
I could only decide it was a 25 but you have much more information.

Guess we have to give Jim the job of riding those fat tire bikes over and look at the stern to see the name of that jewel.

It is identical to my Hull #58 2008 R25 including the radar, bimini and the faded tan belly band around the cabin 🙁 Although mine does not have the gunwale mounted vent near the stern. So does that make it after #58 or before??? :?
 
DBBRanger, I have that vent on my mid-year 2009 so that probably makes it after your #58 but before mine.
 
I did go by there on land today - no name on the back of the boat, no contact info on the "For Sale" sign... but, there was a 2008 Glen Canyon NRA (Lake Powell) sticker on the boat.
