Is it worth towing my boat 1200 miles to S. Florida for a week in Nov?

I'm staying on Coral Drive in Cape Coral, so if anyone has any ramp recommendations, let me know. Thanks for all encouragement! Unless there is an early blizzard up here, I'll probably go for it.

I've found that "MOSTLY" people (not everybody) that object to salt water are people that for "whatever reason" can't get or take their boat down to Florida and use it for an excuse, winter boating is phenomenal.

So I picked up a job in Gaffney, S Carolina and headed south. I should be in Cape Coral Saturday. If anyone knows of a nice ramp in the area, let me know. Thanks for all the replies.
