Anyone ever make a run to Bimini?

That's the problem. You might get there and not get back. Wing against the stream makes ugly fast. My brother has taken his 29 Aquasport from Pompano to the Bahamas for overnighters many times and there have been a few white knuckle returns.

Theyv'e made daytrips in 24 CCs in good weather. You need a boat with some weight that can run 40+ mph.

Its kind of like here in NJ running my V20 60 miles to Chicken Canyon...you gotta know 99.9% positive that the afternoon wind will not kickup.

If I had my V in Pompano I wouldn't run it to Bahamas. There is so much great fishing 3 to 15 miles from the inlet. And if you want you to change it up, you can trailer down to the Keys.
