Oh and if you go in and out of Haulover be careful or you just might end up on YouTube.

Must be calmer down in south FL, I never get to go out and see these nice swells everyone always talks about.
its funny, most here don’t like running the outside because they get beat up but the fishing guys will go 40 miles out in a 25 foot boat.

Welcome to OSO.
Sell your Skater (cheaply) to me and buy something else. Anything else, it won't matter to me.
Lake Meade reference, had some clown banned on here recently under 3 different screen names, he was a stirrer, talking about running his 33' Scarab in waves up to 10' on Lake Meade.

P.S. Agree with your last post, keep the Skater if you really like it and use it for a while, see how ya go. I'm sure you'd have no trouble selling a nice 24 in Florida if you change your mind.
Edit... Speicher Lane, quicker on the keyboard while I was typing!

Hi_Octane,
First welcome to South Florida. Your boat will not only be a whole lot of fun in those waters but will also stand out simply because it will be extremely unique. Your better off keeping the boat and spending the money on a in-and-out dry storage facility with the least amounts of No-Wake, and Manatee Zones.
There are so many sandbars, restaurants, and beach clubs on Biscayne Bay that you will have no trouble enjoying a sunny day. There are also plenty of long weekend trips via Florida Bay to the Keys, or even a day weekend trip trip to Bimini. (on a calm day a jet ski can make the trip to Bimini in under 90 minutes)
Miami Inlet is by far the best maintained and easiest to Navigate South of Port Canaveral.
The thing to know about the area is that for the most part conditions are pretty stable. If the weather is ok when you leave, it will really won't change much (of course running through rain at speed is rather uncomfortable). In South Florida the most dangerous thing is traversing the inlets, and trust some of the inlets are down right dangerous.
North Winds only come into play when you are crossing into the Gulf Stream, which in Miami is generally a zone at least 8 miles off shore, because you will get things like inshore 4-6ft, Gulfstream 9-12ft, and the transition between the two is dramatic.
Again welcome to Florida, Miami is a vibrant city with great food, lots of culture, and some of the worlds greatest clubs (Space for example), I wish you the best
