That looks like Kelly Everett's 37 Merritt Northern Lights, which I chartered for the entire day in 1987. It was shortly after Kelly caught his world record 1100+ pound Marlin on 30lb test. And the boat had recently been completely restored to Immaculate condition. I caught my Blue Marlin aboard it on the same day as the Ironman competition, unfortunately my Marlin charged the boat and put a large gouge into the transom and broke off the tip of its bill in the process, needless to say Kelly was very upset , not at me , but just the fact that it happened and had to get the damage repaired immediately... Back when I chartered it, the outside hull was painted a beautiful shade of pale yellow. Years after when I heard Kelly sold Northern Lights, the new owner painted it all white, which I didn't care for. If I remember correctly it was made in 1963
Awesome! I wonder if that's my buddy George's old boat? Was the friendship out if Virginia beach for a while. He said it went to Samoa after he sold it.

Nicely put together. I especially liked all the camera switches during hook-up to release swimming away was super freaking awesome.
Well done, guys!!! Can’t wait for the next episode.

Sick video man! Looked like a mean trip.
Nicely done. Would love the short run till lines in vs. the Gulf of Mexico
Looking forward to more episodes!
The marlin at the end likely died. More time should have been spent reviving it if you wanted to give it even a slight chance of surviving.
Nothing like that strike
