Hotty Toddy Yacht for Sale | 37 Merritt Yachts Stuart, FL

Hotty Toddy Boat | 37' Merritt 1961

This is the Hull that started it all for Merritt, designed as the quint essential in game fishing boats. Originally built as the “Timid Tuna” she boasted a long bow pulpit for harpooning bluefins of Cat Cay in the Bahamas when they migrated through in the spring. The Merritt is revered and admired for the performance and fishability without compromise. The pedigree of the 37 is unmistakable, known to turn heads and raise fish. For a boat that is 63 years old she never looked better. 37 Merritts rarely come to market, finding one of the 12 remaining in existence that isn’t past down in the family is a rare opportunity. Hotty Toddy went through a two-year refit that was performed under the watchful eye of the owner. The refit was extensive stopping short of nothing and ensuring a safe reliable fishing machine to last generations. Construction: Juniper Plank over mahogany stringers, boat received a new bottom cold molded in the mid-nineties and is solid.

Built in Pompano Beach Florida
