The renowned "J&B" is an exceptionally customized sportfisher, boasting a rich history and remarkable features. As the inaugural Hines-Farley creation, it holds the distinction of being the longest and fastest Hines-Farley ever built. Originally christened as the "WHY?", the current owner entrusted the awe-inspiring vessel to the skilled craftsmen at Jarrett Bay Boatworks in 2012, where it underwent a comprehensive and complete reconstruction and redesign.
Following its relaunch in 2013, the “J&B” underwent a series of notable enhancements that truly elevated its status. A 3' 1" hull extension was seamlessly integrated, accompanied by the installation of state-of-the-art Caterpillar C-32 main engines, new generators, an exquisite American/Bausch tower, and the addition of a bow thruster. The vessel's transformation also encompassed a striking new paint job, cutting-edge electronics, a gyroscopic stabilization system, advanced HVAC technology, revamped plumbing, and an entirely remodeled interior, among numerous other upgrades.
The incredible journey of the "J&B" garnered significant attention from various esteemed publications, with numerous magazines and articles chronicling the historic rebuild of this extraordinary sportfisher. Located in the picturesque setting of Newport Beach, CA, the "J&B" awaits her new owner and is ready to captivate all who lay eyes upon this legend.
