Jim Jim
53' Rybovich Yacht Fish 1963
$ 349,000
The JIM JIM is one of five Rybovich Yacht fisherman to be built. She has been owned by the same individual for over 25 years. Over this time, he has gone through every system and aspect of the vessel and had the Rybovich yard refit every possible detail without regard to cost. She is a remarkable boat and was primarily used for extended Bahamas cruises in the out islands. She is an excellent sea boat, has great accommodations, and a classic style seldom seen these days. Some improvements include the following:
- NEW Awlgrip paint on hull and topsides 2019 including replacement of any rotted wood found on survey inspection
- New shower enclosure and fixtures 2019
- New Bottom Paint 2019
- Engines and Genset Serviced 2018
- JIM JIM has been donated to a national charity and available with very attractive lease/option terms to qualified individuals

In 1985 - 1986 the JIM JIM was gutted and rebuilt from stem to stern at Rybovich Boat Works. This refit included every conceivable system on the boat. Everything mechanical was replaced including engines, V-drives, refrigeration, AC, appliances, and so forth. The entire interior was replaced with a lavish use of teak paneling and trim and granite countertops. The galley, electronics, tower, cockpit, covering boards, and engine room were all completely redone. She got a new tower, teak transom, and exterior cabinetry. At the time, she was literally a new boat.
Today she remains in excellent condition having had in excess of $250,000 spent on her during a refit over the last year. She is currently getting the finishing touches on a full awlgrip paint jot and will be finished during March 2019.
