    Two, 12 gal fuel cans. We used 58 gal to get to Great Harbour. We had another 20 gal in the ski locker.

    Miami to Bimini to Great Harbour SX192

    Hey folks, finally finished part one of our trip. Working on part 2 which is all the Great Harbour footage. As soon as part 2 is done, I’ll complete a full write up for anyone interested in traveling a little further.

    2018 Bimini June trip (June 24th - June 30th)

    For sure. I totally have the hookup. We can pay cash for marina condos with no cancellation fees. Docks attached to the condo. My wife and I are now great friends with folks that manage a group of units. Beach condos are avail too with mooring balls. I will start a thread once we get back home.

    2018 Bimini June trip (June 24th - June 30th)

    God speed everyone. Hope weather clears for you guys Sunday and Monday. Someone post a link to a Delorme tracker so we can follow the crossing. Jaime and I are currently in Great Harbour Cay with our 192. We cross back to Bimini tomorrow and Miami on Friday. Cheers...

    2018 Bimini June trip (June 24th - June 30th)

    This is the shake siphon. I have used this many times and works like a charm. Better than trying to hang a can over the side of the boat.

    Bimini 2018

    Agree, I would not go without extra fuel as well. I would even consider taking an additional 12 gal can thus having 62 gal total. Especially traveling in a group.

    Bimini 2018

    Supercharged? Yes, 100% stock. Most people play with the throttle thus killing their efficiency. Set cruise, and take one wave at a time. Get ready to be busy steering, bobbing and weaving. My YouTube vid is posted under TheJKSquared. I’m sure you’ve seen it.

    Boattest.com has 5k rpm being the most effiecient for 195s

    Bimini 2018

    We used 26 gal each way to Bimini. Conditions were good to fair. Cruise control at 6k 90% of the time. We traveled solo so we had full control of our tempo. We had 20 additional gals but never touched them.

    Slide Anchor Shore Spike vs West Marine Shore Anchor

    This was my choice. I am very happy with it combined with a cheap Harbor Freight rubber mallet. http://sandspike.com/

    Bimini 2018

    Four, 5gal fuel cans will fit in the ski locker. Don’t forget the shake siphon. Find the most efficient rpm and set your cruise. I have an 192, 6k rpm gets me approx 3 mpg.

    Drowning in the battery charger threads

    My setup on my 192 is ProSport12 with dual batteries. I’m happy with it.

    Yamaha factory tour report (It was Awesome)!

    What’s this 230 sea trial you speak of? Link?

    Bimini 2018

    Research shake siphon. This is what I use. Super fast. No hanging over the side. Inexpensive and easy to store.

    Any Sarasota area jetboaters?

    Looks like a 190 with Sarasota tag but a steel trailer? That's not good.

    Any Sarasota area jetboaters?

    Lol, we don't either but I think Sausage Key is a more accurate description. More like Retired Sausage Key. Haha. We have gone as far north as Johns Pass on the ICW from Maximo. It's mostly no wake so I recommend a winter day vs the summer heat. We plan on going out this weekend. I'll give...
