Do you remember the airplane number? I assume that you flew it from MCO. I fly 738/9 out of there on a weekly (at least basis) and an occasional 752 going up north. Based of my experiences, I suspect that you flew to IAD. If that is the case, it is an older CO plane that have had partial refresh (but not the seating.)
There are four 737-800s (delivered new in 2010 and 2011) that have the Boeing Sky Interior (as the OP mentioned) and do not have E+.
There are 11 737-900ERs (delivered new in 2011 and 2012) that also have the Sky Interior and no E+.
All of these aircraft will be fitted with E+.

On 737-900 #3450 with the fancy sky interior and no E+. Switched from an exit row on a regional jet leaving 20min earlier and definitely wish I hadn't. Granted its just SFO-SEA but at 6'7" I use every inch of the extra legroom. Bummer the seats show up as e+ (at least on the app seat map). Would definitely be upset if I had paid extra for this seat!

This was a brand spanking new 737-900ER

737-800 Economy Plus ITO-LAX
Did four searches here on FT and nothing useful came up. Seatguru.com indicates that E+ on this aircraft has the same pitch (31) as regular Y, but two inches additional recline. The UA seat map shows this 737 version to have 16F and 48 E+. My main interest is in more leg room, so any advice would be welcome. Is the exit row my best bet? Thanks.

Just found myself an unlucky recipient of one of these wonderful 738s, without E+....
Specifically picked a 738 thinking "its a newer plane, it should be a better flight"
Not a fun 6 hour flight from EWR to LAX.

On these birds, the confused other elites almost always take (or are automatically assigned) seats in the reserved section. I have never had trouble getting exit row or bulkhead seats, even on very full planes. That in mind, I've never seen any reason to avoid them.

Maybe that doesn't show E+ ??
I was in row 2, and didn't want to salmon swim this morning to take an illegal picture of UA equipment - they might think I was a lottery inspector.
