Rare port ladder FBC sighting

There's an ad for UsedBoats.com on page 27 of the Nov/Dec issue of Fly Fishing in Saltwater magazine. It features an almost full page photo of the rare port-side-bridge-ladder model FBC.
I guess that the ad agency wanted a right page position and didnt want the boat photo running into the gutter so they flopped the transparency!
The boat looked familiar so I checked my copy of The Legend of Bertram and there was the same boat (the same guy is on the flybridge wearing the same clothes) on page 60 with the photo credit to Forest Johnson. The ad photo shows trolling rods in the gunnl holders and the one in The Legend of Bertram shows an ensign flying from the transom staff. Both photos must have been taken in the same shoot.
I have to get out and do some more fishing!
