Default Chicago to Miami

It is a very tough trip for gasoline engines. I know a few who have made 1200 -
1500 mile trips with gas engines, but most of them either repowered after
making it or sold their boats. Diesel engines are much better for those 200
mile days. Diesels thrive on heat, whereas gas engines die. Plan on a long slow
trip with gas engines. 50 - 100 mile days tops.
