Jim Smith 60 Sportfish 1996

"Lay Line," a 1996 Jim Smith 60' Sportfish, is located in Charleston, South Carolina. Constructed by the renowned Jim Smith Tournament Boats in Stuart, Florida, this vessel is both tournament-tested and extensively updated, making her ready for the 2026 season. Known for her efficient hull design and smooth ride, she meets the demands of serious anglers with remarkable speed and fishability. Powered by twin MAN 1200 HP diesels, she cruises at an impressive 34 knots at 2000 RPM while consuming about 85 GPH, offering a formidable tournament range thanks to her 1,200-gallon fuel capacity. Over the past two years, "Lay Line" has undergone significant mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic enhancements, including new Garmin electronics, Omni sonar, gensets, Glendinning controls, a bottom job, and new injectors. This is a unique chance to acquire a highly upgraded Jim Smith without the wait for a new build. Performance details include a cruise speed of 34 knots at 2000 RPM, a fuel burn of approximately 85 GPH, and a total fuel capacity of 1,200 gallons (900-gallon aft tank and 300-gallon forward tank). Mechanical features encompass twin MAN 1200 HP engines with around 9,500 hours, new Bosch injectors, and completed 1,000-hour services. Additional upgrades include a new bow thruster, Glendinning controls, ElectroSea system, and updated battery systems, all installed recently. The electronics suite features a new Garmin package with multiple GPSMAP 9219 units, a new autopilot, and Furuno Omni 8 Sonar. Built for competition, the cockpit includes a 100-gallon livewell, chiller plates, and twin Miya Epoch teaser reels, along with a Murray Brothers helm and fighting chairs. The interior has received a fresh update with new wallpaper, a master head, and refrigeration updates. Safety gear includes a repacked 8-man Viking life raft. Broker remarks highlight "Lay Line" as a serious offshore contender with the pedigree of a Jim Smith and the upgrades of a much newer vessel, presenting a rare opportunity to own a proven custom sportfish ready for immediate tournament or private use.
