This 118’ Burger, "Chanticleer", was formerly owned by Ralph Evinrude (of the outboard motor fame). His widow, Ms. Francis Langford, kept the boat and used it frequently for fishing trips. She passed away in 2005, but Chanticleer remains docked in Jensen Beach, Florida. If her name sounds familiar, she was a famous actress and singer who accompanied Bob Hope during WWII’s USO tours. Maybe some of our senior members remember Les Brown and his band of Renoun?
