Jim Smith classic

Sometimes it seems that getting pictures of our work is real hard.This boat was built by Jim Smith Tournament Boats back in the early eighties as the Miss Broadbill.She is a 60' express model. Forward of the main cockpit is a mezzanine deck under which big motors live.Then you continue fwd and go down into the cabin.This makes for a relatively low profile with a surprising amount of interior for an express boat. Sorry about the lack of more pictures ,my battery said adios at this point. We installed teak decks on the bridge, the mezzanine and in the main cockpit of this great boat a liitle over a year ago as well as the covering boards and coamings. WE went up to Jacksonville FL this week to perform some maintenance and took this shot. Areal classic wooden boat well loved and well cared for. The teak in this picture was bleached just the day before and is now ready to be sanded smooth once again.

Saw this boat for sale on yachtworld. How sturdy is it in a rough sea? Will it break apart? Seems very light for a boat of that length.
