Hey Day Description

 

The ultimate sport fishing boat f the early to mid 1970's was the 43 foot Merritt.

Pictured here are two of the most famous 43's, "No Problem" and "Fighting Lady", returning home from a successful day of giant tuna fishing at Cat Cay, Bahamas, 1976.

These boats were not only famous for what they were, but also for their skippers.

The "No Problem" was run by the late Bill Staros and "Fighting Lady" by Captain Gary Stuve.
