Assuming you are talking about from PAFB to the Barge canal, if you stay in the marked channel, you should be fine. With that said, I don't think you could find a more ugly stretch of water in FL. Most the boats that do it are the fishers going up to the locks and they run it fast. Once you get under the 520 causeway on the north, there are speed zones and the water cops love making life miserable on weekends. Admittedly, I haven't done the run in almost 10 years but doubt if much has changed.
If you are talking north of the Barge Canal, forget it and it is an even uglier stretch of water.
Unless you have a compelling reason to make the trip, recommend you stick to the Indian.
