(21,925 posts)I remember the Gray Ghost, William Tell, and Soldiers Of Fortune ("got money Mr Smith?" . One show I remember very well because my parents watched it all the time was Charter Boat, about the adventures of two guys who hire out their fishing boat and run into trouble, adventure, and mystery. That show seems to have disappeared from this reality because I can't find anything about it now on the Internet.

(21,925 posts)I recognize the intro. According to this website, it also went under the name of Charter Boat. It might have changed names at one point. I've been trying to solve this mystery for years. Thanks.
