Amazing video and trip. How do you think a YAMAHA AR190 would fare on a trip like this one?

Anything is possible and there are plenty of videos out there with 19'ers making it but I wouldn't do the trip in 19', not enough storage and to uncomfortable in rough seas.

Agreed. A wave runner made it all the way down with us. So, it's definitely possible if weather conditions allow it but one must be prepared by knowing sea/weather forecast and be prepared to change / cancel parts of the trip. Obviously, a bigger boat allows you to handle rougher conditions.

I've seen a YouTube video for a 19' (or maybe 17') seadoo. Those guys were brave!

Before i bought the ar240 i used to have a ar192 and it was a great boat. I did several trips to the keys, bimini etc but in 3 foot seas and anything above, your gonna get beat up like crazy. This boat can make the trip in good weather conditions but storms form very quickly with out any warnings out there but like @Khalid and @Andy S said, the bigger the boat the better...
 
This is a glance of our journey from Miami to Exumas Bahamas for a total of 10 days in the ocean. We had the opportunity of doing this trip with great friends, @robert843 @Ramblin Wreck @JROD @Andy S . We got to explore the Exumas, from Bimini Bahamas, Compass Cay, Chub Cay, Staniel Cay, Thunderball Grotto, Pig Island, etc. We had a run of 700 miles total. This was an epic adventure till the next one.

Nice trip.. I showed my daughter and now she wants to make this trip. how far is Pig Island from Nassau?
