What about something like this: 1984 Kong & Halvorsen (Island Gypsy) Motor Cruiser Sedan Power Boat For
Check this out: BoaterEd - DIY Swimplatform and Stairs Maybe you can get the guy to build you some. :-)
Multiple anchors set in multiple directions. Or better yet, head up into a sheltered creek or cove where you can tie off to shore as well as...
You might have better luck looking for boats in the Abacos. These folks have captained power cats for charter: Cruise Abaco - Bahamas Sailboat...
On a boat like that I would consider perhaps going with a classic varnished wood cross style mast.
+1 to that. And what is your range at say 10 knots or a bit less?
Depending on what you like to do, in the Bahamas I enjoy spending time at the Staniel Key area, Warderick Wells, Compass Key, Pipe Creek, Big and...
Yes that sounds great. Just keep an eye out for early hurricanes of course. As others have said, take your time in the Exumas. But be sure to...
As you go through the Bahamas and on down the islands be sure to call ahead any where you think you might be fueling up to make sure they will...

While I don't disagree that if you want to max out your charter potential the East coast is the way to go, don't totally rule out the West coast....

How could A/C create much if any "interior over-pressure"? All it does is move air around.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and great New Year to all!
FWIW, after all these years Tom I haven't found that to be the case. As long as the impeller is well lubed and you bump the engine over a tick to...
+1 to all that. Just use one of the very large tie wraps and lube.
It's about $1000 each way to get towed up/down the river as I recall. Much cheaper than an insurance claim. :-)
Fed up with what? Having to actually talk to and answer simple questions from the people who they are not only payed to talk to but payed by?
It would be easy if the Marine Desk in Ft. Lauderdale would answer their phone or return calls. They have done neither, repeatedly. The boat...
