Thread Highjack,


Thinking about doing this run next year with my boat, 29 Formula. Only doing it if I repower and can run 80. Most people who know me realize I am not all there but am I really crazy for even thinking about doing this run with a 29 ft boat. I am not afraid to run in rough water, do it all the time. But am concerned about keeping up as I have never run in that area. The last leg is fine once we are out in the ocean I can find Key West. Would do the Tue departure and probably not stay the whole week.

Thanks for opinions.

I have been to Key West a few times in a 32 Sunsation w/6.2s....yeah most v bottoms cruise where the 32 runs wfo but it was fine!

Outside run to KW can be rough in Nov, lots of big air shots over the years but it is only 30 miles from Sunshine Key.

Your 29 will be fine size wise as long as it doesn't get too rough on the outside. However, if your at 80 WOT, you'll have a hard time keeping up. Bring a good GPS.

Stu is purposely accommodating smaller and slower boats (singles too), across some of his venues. I think he could do it here as well. You can run the inside with anything as long as it is not storming. We had a 25AT with 4 people, 2 weeks worth of luggage, and enough beer to float that entire boat in a pool. They were fine all the way down and back, and ran in the middle of the second pack around 70ish. And we ran 50/50 in and out that trip down.

We always launch in Pompano. Guaranteed the roughest part of the trip is Govt Cut to the bridge inside of Lighthouse Point.

Thanks for the comments, would really like to do this run in my boat. Did it a few years ago as a passenger.
