I’ve been to the Bahamas on my slow boat. Spent three weeks there and had a blast with the family. However, I’ve often wondered about having a fast (25-30mph) boat so I could zip over to the Bahamas with just my wife from the Fort Pierce area. When I was on the way to the Abacos I saw quite a few boats doing this, but many of them had triple or quad engines and were wildly expensive I’m sure.
For $50k or less, can I get a good trailerable center console style (or open cockpit) with a small cabin if I want to anchor out, and with updated, reliable 4 stroke outboards (2)? I know NOTHING about this style of boat so I might be way off. What’s the minimum length for a boat like this to make a safe GS crossing if caught in bad weather?
What about something like this? Too short?
