Naaa we all know the Bayliner and canoe's are the best boats built!!!

Daytona is a solid hour from Orlando and you can run the Intracoastal all the way to St Augustine/Jacksonville without many slow/no wake zones. The disappearing islands at the Ponce Inlet is a cool (very busy on a mid day weekend low tide). Probably a dozen waterfront restaurants in the area. I will caution you that area is very limited on rack storage on anything over 30 ft. The other glitch is there are two inlets in about 60 miles so if you wander outside and go north it is 60 miles to the next inlet.

Miami is also closer to 4 hours away from Orlando......if towing and not going during rush hour.

I see on the map Oakridge, by lake ellinore, that is where the office is

Are you planning on staying near the office and then trailering to your boat site?
If so you are right about in the middle, try both sides.

I figure I drive about 45 min to work now, so a 45 min drive to the office is ok with me currently, I don't need to live next to work, so winterdriving isn't a factor there in FLA, and the plan is to trailer offshores, if I keep the cruiser then I suppose I could rack it or maybe leave it in the water if that can be done, without it being torn up, I would suppose I may need to buy closed cooling systems for all of the boats

I highly suggest it, with flushouts

You know I have had a few guys say that on older motors they are worried about putting closed cooling on as rust will clog the exchanger.

Anybody had that issue? I am talking a 14 year old 370 hour fresh water motor.

As for a 45 min ride I think the drive to merritt island is easier then Daytona.

I4 can be just stupid.

My 353 was 12 yo and had over 400 hours on it when I had all the goodies installed on mine and it's been fine....................so far.
