Overview and Accommodations

The one and only 43' Jim Smith Tournament Boats walk-around which has recently been upgraded and unexpectedly has just become available.  Comfortable bridge deck has A/C and new Canvas Designer cushions on a ladderback bench helm seat and second lounge seat forward of the helm.  Cabin entry via sliding panel door is forward to portside.

Five steps down into the cabin with satin finished teak cabinetry which is attractive and well executed.  Galley is to the starboard side with bullnose Corian countertop.  Forward is a V-shaped seating lounge with teak table which can be lowered and converted to a berth area with a filler cushion.  Just aft on the portside is the full head with separate shower stall.  The vanity top is matching to the galley and nicely appointed.  Moving aft there is a separate cabin with good sized twin berths.  Above the door to this cabin is the main cabin TV.  The cabin sole is Amtico laminate teak and holly.

She is kept on a boatlift and has been treated in Summer of 2023 to four new 350hp white Mercury Verados which have Platinum warranty coverage.
