We ran the boat from Jacksonville to Palm Beach and took the engines and all running gear out. We are doing a major (except engines) that will include new paint inside/out, new generator, new wiring, new interior, new Release Fighter and helm and a new set of Rupps. Also converting the cockpit bulkhead boxes to drink boxes and tackle center. Neat thing about this boat is that it has a solid glass hull as opposed to all wood for most 37 Merritts. This boat is also really much wider than a regular 37 as well. She is pretty flat in the back and really manuevers. Can't wait to fight some big blue's from her. Anyone interested in fishing with us drop me an email. I will post some more photos as the work progresses.

Where are you going to be docking? and when are you going?

I was in Madeira 2 years ago with Karl Anderson on the Brier Patch. Had a great time, went 2 for 5 on blues, one white, and one of those blues was a grander!

Tracy, I understand my buddy Jon Boy Kelmer is running one of those boats for you, How's it going?

John Boy is a great guy, he will put you in the meat.

Tell him and Jess Hi, from Jay and Natalie.

I will tell them you said hello. I am off to Madeira tomorrow morning. The bite has been really good so I am excited. Jess caught one 650lb. today! Not bad for her first Atlantic blue.
