As a kid we had a Rawson 42 Tri Cabin in the Northwest. Last I knew it was purchased in Seattle in the early/mid 90's then named Trouper. Would love to know if the old girl is still around. Not many made, was a great boat!

No idea on the serial number. It looked a little different than the one in the photo(beautiful by the way) as I recall it seemed to have a smaller cockpit/larger aft cabin. Had a Ranger sailing dinghy on the trunk cabin.They are great boats. You wouldn't happen to know the serial number, would you?

Here is photoTalked to my father, it was a 42 built in late 60’s. As he recalled it was the same mold as the 41. Found this photo, anybody recognize her? Never mind, can’t figure out photo from iPhone but will try tomorrow
Definitely was sturdy. I will hunt around for a profile pic if I can find one. Heavy as hell, spent 5 weeks every summer cruising the inside passage. I had an 11' whaler with a 25 merc, for a kid it was awesome. Funny enough, no TV, cell phones etc. We used to check in via VHF to phone. Those were the days...Interesting. Would love to see a profile. Looks like a substantially different boat.
Cabin seems broader, roomier; side-deck walkways slimmer, three windshields. Looks like a flagstaff vice lifting mast+boom rig.
But has the same Rawson workboat sturdiness.
