“Lay Line” is a pedigree Jim Smith 60’ Sportfish — tournament-proven, extensively updated, and turnkey for the 2026 season.

Built by the legendary Jim Smith in Stuart, Florida, she delivers the ride, speed, and fishability that serious anglers demand. This 60’ platform is known for her efficient hull design, soft ride, and impressive cruise numbers.

Powered by Twin MAN 1200 HP diesels, she cruises at an impressive 34 knots at 2000 RPM burning approximately 85 GPH, giving her serious tournament range with a 1,200-gallon fuel capacity.

Over the past two years, “Lay Line” has received substantial mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic upgrades including new Garmin electronics, Omni sonar, gensets, Glendinning controls, bottom job, injectors, and more.
