Re: 20' seacraft history
Back in the early 80's, I used to run a '78 20' Seafari with a 1500 inline Merc from Lake Worth inlet to West End 2-3 times a week to go diving. 54 miles, one way. No extra fuel, just the 70 gallon tank it came with. I did have an Evinrude 15 hp kicker. Never used it, though. I sold that boat after making more than 50 trips to the Bahamas.
I also NEVER made the trip alone, always in convoy with other boats, as are my trips to the Middle Grounds.
I believe in managing my risk-taking.
