Description:

Welcome aboard the 1997 JIM SMITH 70' Sportfish, SANDANCER.  Anyone that has fished the Bahamas Blue Marlin circuit over the last 20 years has heard of the “SANDANCER”.  Her reputation as a proven fish raiser and tournament champion is very well documented.  Originally built as the Jack of Diamonds (hull17), she set the large custom sportfish market on its ear when launched in 1997 with top speeds in excess of 40 knots.  Her cold molded hull is specifically built to be lightweight and strong.  Her variable deadrise design provides the fast, fuel efficient ride Jim Smith boats are legendary for.  Over the last several years SANDANCER has undergone extensive updates including an interior refit, Garmin electronics update, and 2019/2020 engine overhauls and a generator rebuild.  This ultra-premium custom-built vessel is being offered for sale to the discriminating buyer looking for value in the custom boat market.  Below please find a summary of the 1997 JIM SMITH 70' Sportfish \"SANDANCER,s\"   features, highlights and upgrades followed by a vessel walkthrough.
