When I made the trip from Boston to Englewood in 05, we avoided the icm from Georgia to Florida until we had to go in at Stuart to go across the state. We stopped in St Mary's overnight, but no way would I consider using the icw through there. You have to go a fair ways offshore from the Florida/ Georgia line north to South Carolina because it is all SHALLOW sand flat offshore of Georgia from what I remembered. Not to mention the icw in Florida is a MADHOUSE with boat traffic.

I’m in a similar situation. I recently purchased a 38’ Egg Harbor and have to make a 80 mike trip home with her, 40 miles down a small river then 40 miles across the Chesapeake Bay. We made the trip in a smaller boat last weekend and fortunutely the river is well marked. My navionics app was spot on with the channel. The boat should of been home by now but unfortunately it has decided to show me the responsibilities of owning a big boat right off the bat. She has twin 454 Crusaders and once I got it in the water and fired up it appears a riser is leaking as it got water in a cylinder and bent a pushrod. Waiting on the risers to come in now.

Anyways back to your situation, I will be bringing my Egg home myself with a few of my buddies. Like suggested above, I have the Gold Unlimited Boat US plan just in case. I’d say with good equipment and a few sets of eyes just go for it. If you weren’t so far I’d be willing to come help out, sounds like a damn good time to me.
