Thanks for your video, I love Yamaha jet boats, Florida and the clear water.... I'm just missing the lottery win and I soon go as the 5th boat! Just got tears in my eyes from the beautiful pictures.... 😍😍😍 I miss the Part 2.
Questions about your cover. Is it the mooring cover or the 2 piece bow and stern? Do you put it on correctly in your boat well? Is it feasible to ratchet strap it tight without getting on the water?
Beautiful video. If you dont mind me asking... How much gas did you use? What RPM/ speed where you cruising mostly at? I got a 2020 AR240. I live in Missouri and I am definitely planning on doing the Ft Lauderdarle-Bimini trip next year. I am trying to gather as much intel as I can. Thanks!
All depends on the seas. We cruised at about 26-28 mph with 2-3 ft seas the whole way there, can’t recall the RPM bc it varies a lot. You’re basically adjusting the throttles the whole way. I got there with 12 gal of fuel left in my main tank. I also had 15 additional in cans. If I could do it again, I would’ve gone slower on the way there but we were traveling as a group. Way home was glass
@Rafael G, I’m planing to go by January. I have some friends that goes 2 to 3 times a year and they used like 32 gallons of gas but it’s all depend on how fast you go.
Sorry for the delay, I used 38 gal running 26-28 mph in 2-3 foot seas but also carried an additional 15 gal in cans. All depends on conditions and speed. Also, if you get weeds on the impellers that’ll kill your efficiency. We stopped multiple times to clear the impellers.
Awesome adventure man! Gonna do my research and try and talk the family into making this trip from Findlay Ohio area. Is that a 24' boat? We have a 212x, bigger boat I'm sure takes the waves better.
Thank you so much for the tribute to Tom. He will surely be missed.
Thank you so much for the tribute to my dad. He truly had the time of his life on this trip. Thank you for capturing it ❤️

Thank you so much Matt. Tom would love this. He enjoyed the video you sent him very much .
Very cool video. I just bought a 2023 Yamaha 195S and look forward to being out on the river next spring in VA.
What a fantastic trip. Very well done and sorry for the loss expressed at the end.
Well done Matt.
Also from cbus this looks like a blast
Awsome vid guys , i live in Ohio as well and have a 2020 AR210 Would love to make that trip
Do it man, you won’t regret it.
Nice camera angles! Man, does every Yamaha break the center window frame on the way?
Yes sir!
Nice video. Can you tell me what set up you have for your GPS and the mount you are using? Thanks!

If you said this I missed it-where did you launch from?
Great video. What was your trip time from FL to Bimini going and coming back?
Nice video. Thank you. What year and model Yamaha is the boat?
Planning my first crossing for June 2024. Biggest question right now…where to securely park the boat and trailer for a couple weeks?
How do you flush the boats after taking it in salt water?
Beautiful video. If you dont mind me asking...

same exact music playing as we left that inlet heading on our Exuma run😂😂 ACDC seems fitting th-cam.com/video/L2_t0C55GoU/w-d-xo.html
How much fuel you use one way i have a 242 i want to do the crossing but 50 gallons on this jet boat doesn't seem enough.... thanks in advance
Asking the same lol!
Got a 2020 AR240!
