We ran a bunch when we were down there. When we got there on Friday, I went straight for what is typically my "go-to" motel room, a room that in all the times I've been to key largo has never been filled. Its simple, cheap and right on the water, a random room on a bayside campground that I discovered it when I worked down there a couple years ago. Go figure, it was rented for the weekend. Plan B consisted of running around to every hotel I could think of on the water which produced nothing but expensive rooms and even more expensive dock fees. Right as we were getting ready to roll out the sleeping bags on the boat, I remembered that Snappers had rooms on top for a reasonable price. At dark, we pulled into Snappers and sure enough, they had space. Great spot, live music played until we fell asleep. Isn’t that where everyone stayed for the SeaCraft get-together? I was hoping to make it, but my job is very unpredictable and I had to work that weekend. I’ll be at the next one (knock on wood)!

ROBCAR, the hull is a ’72 so it’s the SF. The engine is a Merc Optimax 175 Pro XS, which they say puts out a hair more than 175 hp.
