@newbote I used racket straps and they stayed in place. No problems at all in that department.
I wish I had done the same with my anchor.

PS. I have 2 AGM group 27. I think @Bruce has Group30 and he has had no issues.

I have two group 31 batteries in boxes with a ratchet strap across the top of them. Both ends of the ratchet straps are screwed through the floor.

The batteries is one I had thought about until this weekend when I was working on a stereo upgrade and noticed how loose the were strapped down from the factory.

@Betik my friend. I am trying for a Hail Mary pass at home to do both June and July trips (one with family and one solo). If solo you are more than welcome to join me on my boat. It will 2 crazy old men riding up a storm on way to Bimini :winkingthumbsup"

Betik: Baby can I with Amar to Bimini?
Claire: weren't you making fun on this "minivan" boat ?
Betik: you know I love minivans, we have had 2 Odysseys
Claire yieling at my mom : You son, wants to be Amar' 1st b*tch
Betik: on come on
Claire: oh I am sorry, my husband is going to be my Amar' d*ck hand
Mom: Cursing in Greek. then in broken English, I dont like it, but he is not going to listen to me anyway. good luck taking him out
Betik: Claire love, how I am going to share this kind of verbal exchange on the forum?
Claire: didn't @MrMoose call it a "boat porn forum" anyway? I don't see anyone getting offended


PS: for anyone one who does not know my wife's sense of humor, this actually means I am cleared to go. :jimlad:

@Betik, I think Claire is just confused about why you would want to be Amar’s deckhand instead of hers?

I hope this is the year that you discover that there is far more to Bimini than how many times you were airborne on the crossing.

2017 was the first year for Jay and I with the group crossing on skis! It was rough and we all took a beating but I don’t think there is any other group that I would have rather done it with! @MrMoose was awesome in being a leader. Even though we both had radios and navigation on his ski and our phones, someone was still checking on us.

This year we plan on going but Jay will be making the trip on the jet skis by himself unless we find someone else to ride the other with him and I will be going over another way due to health reasons!
