Re: different boat question
I have made 5 or 6 crossings of the Gulf Stream from Lake Worth Inlet to West End, Grand Bahama in a 13' Boston Whaler, with a 35 Johnson on the back. Never as the sole boat, always traveled in company, but it would carry two guys, 4 SCUBA tanks and gear, and a cooler full of eats and drinks with no problem, running 20-25 mph all the way across. The trick is to leave right at first light in the summer while the ocean is glassy, and come back the next morning.
I took the SeaCraft Seafari over the same way many times, but with it I could leave mid-day and not worry about the afternoon wind chop from the seabreeze.
