Prepping my newly acquired 1981 195 SR. Installing and stocking up on redundancy as much as possible. Got Bimini on my mind, just an overnight or couple nights during hot summer when the stream gets flat.
Jet skis and jet boats cross all the time and wondering if I would do it in this ole gal along w a flotilla of two larger open fish boats.
I can cruise fast enough and I think my boat rides better than my brothers brand new Sea Hunt 23. Other boat is a 25 overpriced something or other-brand new also.
It’s about 50 s miles from Haulover inlet at 110E on the dial.
I used to do it many years ago in my 17ft Mako but I have juuuust a lil more caution now in my old age.
Let’s hear it, yays and nays.
