Vintage Classic Boat – Varnish and Chrome Brassby Captain Kevin Nakamaruin Fishing Boats, Kona Seaon Posted on September 10, 2018January 6, 2020 Love these vintage classics build the same era as our 37 Merritt. The varnish and crome brass is so familiar after looking at our Merritt all these years.On our 37 I love when function meets the beauty and style of these vintage classics. There is a lot of soul that reflects out of that shiny metal and wood. When you can chase blue marlin and tuna on them it magnifies the experience for me as a captain.
