I am getting a 24’ Yamaha 2019 242X E Series.. is this boat large enough to do a Bimini Run from Miami on pretty calm day?
I have owned and operated other boats in the past but obviously would not make the trip until I’m comfortable on this boat.

Im planning my second trip in my 21 so yes your 24 is going to be fine! Last time i was a bit slower than the 24's and when they sawthe island they zipped past while i sought more comfort. I also used less than half a tank of fuel wheras they all filled right away. I do recommend filling up right after checkin because there have been times the fuel boatis delayed.

Right now leaning to 'yes'. Just trying to get confirmation from guests so I can lock down accommodations, etc.
