Anyone ever make a run to Bimini?
Just for winter discussion has anyone ever run a V 20 to Bimini? I know there is a member on THT that has run his 23' Wellcraft over many times.
Would you do it given the chance? This is on my bucket list. Not sure if I would do it on a V 20 but I will do it.

Me and my dad have ran over there out of port everglades with a 248 sportsman. it was a good run exactly 48 miles from the port. We would go every few months for a weekend, but havent been in about 5 years.

I'd love to try, but it's a hella run for me... first aprox 1400 mile trailer, then the 48 mile run etc. But in my younger days I've been out to the Sunken Texas tower in my first V, and that's about 63 miles off the coast of Long Island, so a run of 48 miles certainly seems feasible. The overriding concern of course would be the weather and sea conditions. I would not even consider a run like that unless the sea was calm and the weather for the next week was forecast to be mild with no storms on the horizon.

Interesting comments from everyone.
Thanks for every members comments I think I would feel safe with twins running that far. However I thought i read that Tow boat US was extending coverage to Bimini.
