100′ Jim Smith Boats Ovation Makes Careful Journey to the Water

Introduction to the 100′ Ovation

In early 2018, work began on a remarkable project that recently culminated with a noteworthy event—the transport and launch of the 100′ Jim Smith Tournament Boats “Ovation”. Nestled at Commerce Avenue in Stuart, Florida, the completion of Ovation marked a new pinnacle for luxury sportfishing vessels.

The Journey to the Water

On Sunday, November 22, Ovation, accompanied by an impressive entourage of crew and vehicles, embarked on a meticulous two-mile journey to Hinckley Marine. This intricate move required navigating narrow roads, maneuvering under low-hanging power lines, and coordinating with local authorities for traffic control, showcasing a logistical marvel in marine transportation.

Final Preparations and Launch

Once in the water, the vessel underwent several days of rigorous sea trials, during which the team meticulously installed its aluminum tower—an essential structure that enhances both its navigation capabilities and overall resilience. The final touch to this majestic vessel was the fitting of 55-60 foot long hydraulic outriggers, pivotal for stabilizing the boat during high-sea fishing expeditions.

The successful launch of Ovation not only demonstrates the incredible engineering and craftsmanship of Jim Smith Tournament Boats but also ignites excitement within the sportfishing community for the adventures that lie ahead for a sportfishing boat of this size. Its a testament to the intricate blend of artistry and precision that defines the pinnacle of sportfishing luxury.
