We are in Pelotas. About 20 miles from Rio Grande on the Dos Patos lagoon.

Asked myself that question about every boat I've owned, or even looked at.

So it looks like Nick F was right. The boat was built in Brazil. On the weekend a Brazilian friend here at the yacht club helped me in going through the paperwork on board. He found the authorization document for the start of the build. It was dated 1985 and in the name of the first owner. Another document dated the completion of the build in 1988. This owner had the boat until 1998 when it was sold to the second owner. It was the second owner who took the boat to Kalmar for the refit in 2005. I was able to read about both owners on the internet. Very interesting. The current owner is the third.
While similar in quite a few ways to the Hatteras LRC, I can tell you in no uncertain terms - this is not a Hatteras. It may be a great boat, but just not a Hatteras.
BTW, All Hatteras LRC 58 and 65 ( not sure about the 42 or 48) came with Detroits. They were normally aspirated, so that would be another clue

I met the owner last weekend and he gave me some photos of the boat out the water. It is not a displacement hull shape. And it looks to have bronze propeller shafts.

Most likely SS shaft with prop speed on it.

I agree it is not a 65 LRC. If the guy can look at the starboard hull there will be a marking with a hull id. It could be a Hatt but not an LRC. If it is a Hatt the hull ID will Show hATAX.

It's a motor yacht. There are some 65 LRC's for sale in the USA.
Hatteras built LRC's in these lengths: 42, 48, 58 and 65 foot.
There is a nice 48 going on the market in North Carolina and in the next few months, I will be put my 58 LRC on the market. Interested buyers can learn about LRC's from owners on the LRC club web site.

We know it's not a Hatteras. The boat was identified in post #35.

After a lot of reading about trawler style boats, spending time on board and talking to the owner I think I can say that this is a nice boat worth looking into. The current owner has been trying to sell it for a while but it is not the style of boat wealthy Brazilians would normally buy. They prefer something a little more flashy. He is very eager to sell. It really is the brainchild of the previous owner.( the one that took it to Kalmar) He was in commercial shipping and fitted the boat out really well.
