I have posted this one before. The picture was made in St. Augustine while the boat was on the way to Maine. I think it is owned by one of the Dupont family. David knows the story on the boat.

On a family trip to Maine in about '78 we stopped by Southwest Harbor at the Lee S. Wilbur Boat Works. They were doing a final fit out on a new boat set up for sportsfishing. The guys on the boat took one look at my 6' 5" 15 year old son and said, "get him up here". They were installing a tuna fighting chair. They put Mike in the chair adjusting the foot rest. They started swinging the chair around and sliding it. The one said, "that's it mark it, and put it in the book for future reference". I wonder if they are still using those measurements to fit fighting chairs.
