When I was in Mt. Pleasant S.C. fishing a couple years back I took some shots of this boat the E.T. We were at reds in shem creek and it came in for a couple of days, port on the transom I believe was BVI. I didnt recongnize the design, but thought it was a beautiful rig and wanted to know if anyone knew what it was.

Looks like a big Merritt. Maybe the former Tysons Pride!
The back windows and ladder are different but certainly looks like a family resemblance there. I am sure someone will be able to ID this rig with that spiraling cockpit ladder !!!

ET used to have a Rybo that was kept at Ocean Reef. That was their old boat and they new one is just as nice it looks like a Merritt but what do I know?
Hi,
It's a Merritt. A gentleman on Cape Cod owns it. He built it new...although it does look like the Tysons Pride.
I saw the TP and the mother ship at Tropic Star in 2004. What an operation that is...NICE!!!
It does share the same lines as the Tyson Pride, thanks fellas.
Not a big fan of the spiral stair case to the bridge. Other wise great looking rig.
80' merritt fishes out of hyannis, mass and key largo, fla. sweet rideeee
Merritt for sure.
It's a 72' Merritt, run by Capt Ron Crisp, owned by Ed Fish
