Hello,
I have a 24 foot I/O and I am wondering if this would be capable
of travelling from Miami to the Bahamas. The boat holds 68 gallons of
gas which should be enough, but I am thinking it might just be too
small to handle the voyage.

Anybody with experience or opinions about making the voyage on a 24
footer?

thanks,
daniel



How far is it?


In the Boating Course at the Power Squadron they instructed us to figure
out how much fuel you would burn to travel to the destination and then
multiply by 3x.
This would cover the trip back and any minor delays/problems encountered.


Let me rephrase the question, to find out how many miles is involved in this
trip:

In the boating course, how did they instruct you to estimate how much fuel
you would burn?
