Man, it sounds too easy!!! I bet they have to grab and go in cuba. I bet a Fountain like that sticks out like a sore thumb down there!!!

I would think they would need to take fuel down with them too. It's 90 miles from key west, not miami, so either they're stopping somewhere in the keys to fuel up or they're making the run with the extra petrol.

210 gal fuel capacity. About 70 mph with stock power, maybe more depending on year. Largest cockpit of the Fountain sport boats except maybe the 47 Lightning.
I am sure the cabin looked like one of those fisher-price toys we had as kids that looked like a bubble on wheels that was pushed and made popping sounds.
