GYS Listing
This 65' Custom Sport Fisherman was built in 2000 by Jim Smith with a deep-vee design by Donald Blount and was purchased by her current owner at the end of 2014. After an extensive survey, all findings were corrected and True Grit underwent a comprehensive refit throughout in 2015/2016. As a result, she is in immaculate better-than-new condition mechanically, structurally, and cosmetically. Totally updated inside and outside. In addition, she had an air-conditioned mezzanine added in the cockpit and a Palm Beach Tuna Tower added. The current owner always maintains True Grit in perfect, turn-key condition.
Recent upgrades in June 2019 include:
- All new computers on main engines
- All engine room cameras serviced and upgraded
- New canvas cockpit awning with carbon fiber poles
- New tuna tower custom backrest
- New cockpit enclosure spray wings and track system
- Bridge all EZ2CY buffed and polished - new center panel
This is a beautiful, fast, expertly equipped fishing machine. Please contact us today to schedule your showing.
