I hotthe v8 and so far the main issue i have read about is the throttle body needing replacement.

if wonder if that is the reason why my truck has turned off by itself on a traffic light!!!!!!

Has anyone tried to book for this summer? While I'm not ready to commit to any certain week just yet, I'm wondering how rates compare to years before the owners changed

They have taken groups already and booked a lot of it already. I called to try and get a single unit and they said they aren't ready for general booking yet but took my name and number and said they would let me know (doubtful).
There are also vrbo available there.
The marina is all ready for reservations it's just the condos yet, or so they told me.

Many of the "veterans" will likely be in on the planning for Bimini 2020. I expect it to be a bigger trip(s) next year due to this years challenges with Bimini Sands and the power situation.

I do know there is also an Abaco 2020 trip in the planning....but this is not for first timers and requires a lot of time, and a lot more prep.

If you haven't already read the Bimini prep thread....read that before considering this trip.

Hi Julian. Jose here. We are first timers going to Bimini. We have a 2019 AR210. And we would like to be included in any of the groups going to Bimini next year. Do you have any suggestions on this regards. Thank you very much. Jose

@JoseCuervo you might want to rear on the Bimini preparation thread

I’m in for 2020. I have a lot of the 2017 group wanting to make a comeback as well. Hoping the Sands gets it act together by then. I’m hoping for a June crossing if I can

Hi there. We would like to go To Bimini with a group for 2020 we have a 2019 AR210. Do you know of any group making hard arrangements? Thank you and happy boating

 

[JoseCuervo]

212ss here. I felt the 24' boats were pressing forward easily and i had to be careful to be outside their wake. This was good conditions. On the way back it was much rougher but then again i was originally trying to keep up with the jet ski group not realizing the boats were a bit behind us.
I bought trim tabs and have started installing to test the heck out of them early spring. Hope that puts us on even playing field.
Speeds weren't the problem it was the splashing with wind on my bow so we got soaked. The 24 footers are much deeper.

Hi. Did you install the trim tabs ? How they look, work for
You ?

Many have done it, i purchased mine and hope to have them on by spring.

@JoseCuervo the trim tabs are very helpful in smoothing the ride. Anything but 2018 waters they are come in very handy.

We’re in for another trip this year. We might could be flexible on dates, but for right now, I’ve secured 5/22-6/1 off at my job. This might be too early, but I grabbed it bc of the holiday giving me an extra day to work with.
I haven’t figured out the logistics but the kids are begging to go to WDW so it’d be cool (and super impressive!) if we fit both in! So I’m thinking 3-4 nights in Bimini maybe?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Has anyone nailed down dates yet for a June or July 2020 crossing? Anxious to start booking.

 

[BBottoms]

I've got the week of July 12th blocked on my calendar but being my first crossing I'm waiting for a Bimini 'veteran' to set a date and start planning.

August is deep into the rainy season. Rain every afternoon. There's small showers but they're everywhere. May, June has much less chance of rain but there's still spotty showers.

 

[ThatJeepGuy]

I'm hoping between folks here and Bimini Cove that we can get some dates locked in soon. My work is pressuring me request my vacation time for the summer quickly.

 

[Betik]

@ThatJeepGuy i think you can make your own dates. I bet you get a few joining you anyway

 

[leonard delia]

I know this is rather early, but wanted to post something up because my family is in for a 2020 Crossing.

Hopefully @Julian or another veteran will go as well!

I’m in
