What is it?

[captainbri]

I found this behind a fence driving by a storage lot. The building is empty lots of junk cars around. Looks to be about 12 ft at the beam and 35 plus feet long. This is the best pic I could get of it. The name is rainbow and it says scottsdale az on it.

It uploaded sideways. Bist guess what it is

Did I win? I'll take the furry dice for the gooseneck and the Pikachu burgee!

Someone spent a lot of money to take a big boat to the desert. Not too many places to sail that boat in Scottsdale. Maybe they are getting ready for the sea level rise.

Hardin Voyager?

Pretty sure the BYB in the HIN makes it a Vagabond. Can't tell from the photo if it's a 42 or 47, though.

Transom is different I think... Never been on one but I always wondered about falling on those big sloping living room windows they have...

It's not a valid HIN, but if the first three letters are a registered Manufacturer ID Code, then
BYB = Baytoon Boat Inc, 171 Songer Ln, Pearcy AR

but they seem to be more an inland waterway fishing boat manufacturer

Anything Else?

[Caribbeachbum]

No, it's Bluewater Yacht Builders. They're no longer in existence, and the three-letter identifier has been reissued. Almost certain that the boat is a Stadel-designed Vagabond 42.

Thank you. Maybe i can get it for a song and a dance. It is worth a try. The owner died and his son had it shipped here a few years ago and it oh as been sitting since
