People take personal watercraft from Miami to Bimini all the time...😊😊😊...

[@MarkDHall]

I know. It's awesome to see people doing that. Thanks for watching!

[@dwightbernheimer331]

@@MarkDHall 👍 I'm originally from Stratford Connecticut. Google my name. Dwight Bernheimer, a headline will come up... Mountain lions are NOT for Everyone... I think you'll enjoy the read. Thanks for taking the time to respond...

[@gilrheaume6283]

Boy you guys are tough going on the ocean, I wouldn't do that unless I was on a minimum 24-foot boat. You have NO FEAR like I had when I was younger. Gil

[@MarkDHall]

Matt likes the ocean because it allows him to jump the waves, but I'm old and like the smoother water. In the future, I'm only going to go to the ocean if the weather calls for no wind.

[@manenkoff]

You should see the videos of people taking PWC's from Florida to the Bahamas.

[@Mad-i134]

What app is that?

[@MarkDHall]

Hi - It's Navionics. I created a quick tutorial about the RAM Mount system I use and a 1-2 minute overview of the app. There's lot of KZbin videos that go into more detail about the app, but mine gives a very quick overview. You can watch the Avionics part here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHPdp4JjatN_pck

[@08breezy08]

hi is them 2023 vx cruisers?

[@MarkDHall]

Hi. Yes, they're the standard 2023 VX Cruiser with the 3 cylinder engine, not the HO (High Output) version with the 4 cylinder.

[@HotDogofArkansas]

@@MarkDHall Are you happy with the performance? Acceleration?

[@MarkDHall]

@@HotDogofArkansas We've had them for a year, and we love them! They have been super reliable, get great gas mileage and are very stable. Acceleration is very good, but I think it would be fun to try the HO version. I think it goes about 8 MPH faster, but I've heard it has a quicker holeshot. The lakes around here have a 45 MPH speed limit, so going faster isn't something we could do much except in a few places without speed limits. If we had had the money when we got these, we probably would have gotten the HOs because why not? It seems like the perfect balance between performance and fuel economy without the wear and tear and poor mileage of the super charged models. Bottom line - for our needs, the 3 cylinder VX Cruiser is perfect.
