Okay, this isn't pretty, but it irritates me that I don't know what it is. Most boats with hideous portlights are swing keel. The trailer caught my eye (always looking for more rolling stock for my floating stock)!
The owner took it on a trade for landscape work and can offer no information other than its 25' and the guy told him it was a really good boat!
Any suggestions to satisfy my curiousity?

P.S. Clearly I am desperate for absolutely anything to do to avoid finishing the scraping, grinding and sanding on the boat's bottom! Either that or the toxic vapors have gotten to me.
Can you identify this not-so-attractive boat?

BINGO!
Thanks Rachel. There are so many variations that I missed the option for the single mega-portlight and windshield...
Shouldn't you be cleaning your bilge ;>)
When are you going to post pictures of a really good looking boat (we don't have scratch and sniff screens)? I absolutely love the lines of the Alberg 30.
Thanks!

Here?s a link to the whole story: http://www.columbia-yachts.com/c-24cont.html I grew up not far from the old Columbia plant in Costa Mesa. Cal (Jensen Marine) was literally right next door. At times there were so many boats waiting to be shipped they were "parallel parked" bow-to-stern on both sides of 18th Street. Those were the days. :-)
