Re: florida relocation with boats
Not sure how long the run to Ft Meyers would be but you have 2 choices, the gulf as fast as you want or the icw if it gets sloppy out.
I would look anwhere from Tierra Verde to around Reddington or Clearwater area. The only really long idle zone is an area called the narrows that starts a little north of Reddington and runs nearly all the way to Indian Rocks.

Re: florida relocation with boats
You do not want to commute from Ft Myers, trust me. I'd check in the Tierra Verde area in south Pinellas County. The best of boating, and plenty of different areas and types of water to run in. If I had the bucks, and didn't have to work, that's where I'd be. I just can't stand the traffic in Pinellas anymore. I lived there 33 years.

You might want to contact Mike Erturk. He's been the president of Opba, which is our boating club in Pinellas. He's in real estate. Tell him Cuda sent you.

Why did you leave, just traffic? Is Tierra Verde south of Seminole? It won't show up on Google Earth. How is the overall economy there? Is it based on the growth of population?
How Far away did you move? Sorry for all the personal questions, That area has always interested me since a visit about 7 years ago. Of course aluminum trailers would be a must, right?
Thanks.

No doubt in my mind though that the Tampa Bay area is THE best for boating in the state, the only thing close might be Biscayne Bay.
Actually, the commute from Tierra Verde to Tampa Airport wouldn't be bad at all. Jump on 275 from the Bayway, then you have interstate nearly all the way to the airport. It's nice since they made the bridge six lanes in each direction several years ago. It used to the called the Howard Frankenstein Bridge, now it's the Howard Franklin Speedway.
Here's a couple shots from an Opba poker run a few years back.
