    Bimini 2020 - July 20-25

    I've cancelled my plans for Bimini for this year and released the reservation at Bimini Cove (AirBnb). :(

    Bimini 2020 - July 20-25

    Sounds good. I'm more concerned about the trip to the Bahamas and staying with someone. I figure I can hit FL by heading west at the end of the week. :) Lets connect closer to July and coordinate our crossing to Bimini. I've added Navionics, a Garmin GPS, and a VHF radio with a 4 foot...

    VHF and antenna

    This is what I ended up with. I put it in the top of the tower with self tapping screws. I was able to run the cable in an existing hole in the tower, so it is pretty clean. I'll need to modify the bimini top just a little bit on this side (extend the 'hole' there by about 5 inches).

    VHF and antenna

    @BBottoms & @Julian --- In your VHF antenna installs are you using Bolts for the quick connect base or self tapping metal screws?

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    Hi- I've got 3 family members who want to take the Ferry instead of 2.5 hours of Yamaha boat bouncing action. Any recommendations for a ferry company that will be good for them? Leaving Miami on a Monday and returning on Saturday.

    Bimini 2020 - July 20-25

    Sounds good- maybe we'll see you in Bimini - and could cruise back to FL together on the 25th.

    Solar Power Charging Solution - My Build / Thoughts?

    Did you get it completed? I have a solar set up at my dock that charges my boat batteries and gives me power for two lifts. If you're interested I'll share my setup.

    Bimini 2020 - July 20-25

    I wanted to start a separate thread from the early interest one to see if anyone else is interested in putting a group together for these dates. It will be my first time crossing so I'm hoping at least one veteran will be interested in joining us on these dates. I have no problem socializing the...

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    How did you go about reserving dock space? I've rented for the week of July 19-25, but haven't gotten dock space yet.

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    Booked at Bimini Sands/Cove (AirBNB) for July 20 - 25. Would like to travel with a group if possible. Looking forward to this!

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    I'm seeing that lots of people seem to be travelling mid week to the Bahamas. I was planning on July 20-25 with early morning departures on either end. Is it typical to wait on a grouping to form or just book what I want and hope that someone else is travelling at the same time? As a first...

    Want To Buy 2010-2012 AR240 grey carpet

    I've got a set of carpet for a 2012 AR240 if you haven't gotten a set yet.

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    I'm looking at that 3rd week of July as well. First time trip for me. 4 in the boat and meeting 3 on the island (Ferry riders).

    Bimini 2020 - early interest - dates TBD

    I'm interested in going the week of July 19-24. First trip, so would love to be able to hook up with others. Do different threads start based on the weeks that people are going? If you were going in mid July, when would you expect to have the hotel etc locked in?

    Trailer Backup Camera

    For backing into a driveway etc, you could always suction cup mount a go-pro onto the back. Then use your phone to view the camera. It would give you a good wide angle viewing and would have plenty of battery life.

    Fuel tank cover bottom cracks

    It looks good so far. I coated the entire 'lip' of the fuel hatch cover and fed as much into the cracks as it would take. time will tell.

    Fuel tank cover bottom cracks

    Thanks- I've been feeding in epoxy into the cracked areas and think that is the best option. I'll keep you posted.

    Fuel tank cover bottom cracks

    Thanks Scott. I'll check it those links. The fourth picture is one of the holes in the fuel tank cover where the latch goes. The ski locker in the clean out Port patches seem to be fine it is just this one that is unfinished on the bottom and seems like it has taken water.

    2019 Yamaha 275 Detail Images

    It might grow on me- not that I want a boat that big or with that kind of price. I like the new steering system and the underwater seats. It looks like it comes with underwater lights too.
