This 53-foot sportfish was built in 1972 by Jim Smith as his personal boat, originally named Boca Jima V. The boat represents an early example of Jim Smith's pioneering cold-molded double diagonal planking construction with epoxy resin, a technique that defined the builder's approach to wooden yacht construction.
The wooden hull is powered by a Cummins diesel engine. The boat's construction method—cold-molded double diagonal planking—provided strength and durability while maintaining the character of traditional wooden shipbuilding with modern materials and techniques.
