Ready For a Miami to Berry Islands Bahama Crossing ,with New Yamaha F225XB on my Crooked Pilot House 

Hey Cap, the boat looks amazing, and that engine is sparkling new! I love the way you handle everything-taking care of every detail and checking everything important for the travels. Thanks a lot for sharing your video, I’m always inspired. A friend of mine, who I used to go diving with, always said, ‘The adventure is cancelled after you arrive at your destination-then you decide.’ I really feel that. Love to see that the next video. Thank you so very very much for the end of the video on the beach... Very relaxing... just loved it.

I love the way you have framed your channel. Your boat looks amazing and you new engine is spectaculer. I love the content and love watching your videos. The content is great!!!!

Greetings from Abaco Cap'n, I watched your installation video a few weeks ago.. I told my Wife I think you made a good choice! I haven't mentioned this before but I have to commend you on the respect you've shown by entering.. and fishing our Bahamian waters legally, many boaters avoid our Customs and Immigration Depts., and totally disregard the fishing permit and catch limits! You Sir.. have earned my respect, and if you find yourself fishing near Marsh Harbor.. or Hope Town, feel free to give me a buzz.. my Son.. or I would be honored to put you on some of our lobster condos and maybe a few fishing spots!?! Stay blessed and keep making your videos for everyone to enjoy!!

Your Out On The Reef crew is standing by, Cap'n

That was pretty cool. I love the video so relaxing to see you sit down lounge a little bit in front of a beautiful Water 😃.

Hey Captain: You are always so well prepared, I love it. It's always good to think about all the details and have a contingency plan when you are on the water. Enjoy your trip! -:)

Ship shape and all set perfectly as usually, cap. Safe voyages!

Have fun Captain, be safe 👍👍👍👍

I liked the underwater lights 👌

Can’t wait to see “El monstrico “ , cutting those 🌊!

Have a safe journey...

I am very excited for you captain !!! Thanks for taking us along to see you turn your dreams into reality !!!

Love this channel

👍🏼👍🏼be safe can't wait for the video

Very nice boat 🫶🏻

Hey Capt. Looking forward into seeing how the new engine treats you. I have to get down to Florida and meet you. Maybe go fishing. Always a pleasure and navigate safe. Provecho papi

Enjoy cap. Navigate safe 👍🏻 Although this was probably recorded days ago 😂 Excited to hear your experience with the performance of the new engine.

Need to get yourself a Marine Travel Buddy 12v Oven mate. Great set up you have there

Hey Captain. I saw you in Bimini last Sunday 15. I wanted to say 👋.

Que linda esa vista con el bote luce una relajación total disfrute capitán que se lo merece.

Capt. You ever put a layer of newspaper on top of your ice? It will last much longer. Maybe not it Fla but it sure helps here.

Safe travels, Captain, and tight-lines and good fishing to you.

I know it's going to be a great trip! 😎🌴⚓

Hi Captain! Soo curious about all the data gph, mpg, of the new engine and of course the new prop. Stay safe out there 👍

Capt, beautiful and serene beach scene with you under the umbrella and Crooked Pilot House in the background. BTW, did you get the minn kota repaired? Looking forward to the your videos on this trip to the Bahamas. Safe trip and prop clear.

You are more than ready, be safe!

Hell yes Capt. "Time to fly with the new 225"

Hey Cap, I know you are safety conscious being out there solo, but it would be cool to see the safety gear you carry, like EPIRB, raft etc. Too many people go out with hardly a working VHF, PFDs etc.

I was wondering if you can give some moment of fame to the scrap fish waste you throw into the sea? I love to see what kind of fish would go after those scraps, perhaps sharks, perhaps groupers, or perhaps even birds. Seeing animals going after the waste fish is also kinda relaxing. Another request is when you in the rain storm, please also give some moment of fame to the rain. Watching rain in the comfort of pilot house also kinda relaxing.

Hi Capt.... your boat looks like a brand new boat; you take very good care of her!... A clean boat, is also a safer boat! I look forward to seeing how the new engine performs..... As always, I wish you a safe trip!

That’s one heck of a view you have.

Yo en indianapolis deseandote k te cuides mijo hay muchas turbunadas por donde kiera se k sabes lo k haces be safe.

Capt that quite a do list you have, stay safe we see you when you get back.

Thanks for sharing cap

Hope you had a good trip. Wondering what do you do for vehicle/trailer storage when you launch off Miami?

Como siempre todo al detalle felicidades capitán.

She looks, ready, Captain. Did you get the Minnkota issue resolved?

he used 1 1/2 in. pvc . cut to length of ice chest cooler fill 3/4 full with wather and sea salt mix, cap with same SIZE OUTER CAP. FREESE AND PUT IN COOLER.

The adventures are heating up! Btw I saw a video about fishing and the person has a fridge/ electric cooler on his boat. He said he liked it better due to not having water in the cooler that can damage food or fish. 📢📢 Full steam ahead ⚓

Bro I wish I could roll with you so you could show me how to safely make the crossing. I have a 23’ Palm Beach walk around with twin 115s on the back. I wanna make the crossing in the spring.

I am a big fan of four blade props. Power and torque. I want to cruise. Top speed not as important to me.

Look forward to the crossing video. Maybe one of these days I’ll find myself crossing over same time as you. Insurance will only allow me to go 75 miles from Florida shoreline because I only have a single outboard though. So no berry islands for me. 😔

was the final shot on beach old motor ? did you add the Cavitation Plate ?

¡Gracias!

Where does you ac exhaust go to? Just through the cabin wall beside the door?

I though youre going to install the 4 blade propeller

Skip I aploud your weight distribution skills, who needs trim tabs when the weight is right, oh yea the rig is gleaming

Navigate safeCaptain.Let us know how fuel consumption is.

i allso seen a fix for ice tubes that are durable if intrsteed

I know i probably missed it but what was the reason for the new motor? Was the old one worn out? They are both 4 strokes i believe.

what type of van do you tow your boat with. richard

Safe travels Cap!

I also like to ask if you are very knowledgable about electricity? I have problem with power overdrawn. Most of the electric equiptment still work fine, but my electrical wire share with another room, if someone from that room use high power stuff, it will cause electirc overdraw and the curcuit breaker will cut off. Kinda annoying when it happen all the time. I was thinking about buying a battery back up that use for camping. It compact enough. I plan to use this battery back up as a cushion. This way may prevent the power overdrawn situation. I wonder if this will work? The battery unit I am looking at is a 500 watts power with 1000 watts spike capable. I used a portable air con unit in my room. It was so hot here in Arizona that the central air con could not handle it. This air con unit consume about 1300 watts. So I wonder if I buy the battery unit, would it solve my power overdrawn problem?

😃

👍

If it wasn't for the pilothouse, you would be scraping the bugs off your teeth with the extra pony at hand.

❤🎣🛥🏝

😅 coward

You dont even spearfish, lol sharkshield doesnt work. Its like a magnet bracelet.

Hi Captain, your boat is full+++++++ I can say, the equipments are huge! My respect.😊

I’m looking to buy Pilot house boat to take to bahamas and back a lot. What would your recommendation be if you were gonna upgrade or buy? Let me know captain. Have a safe trip!

Looking forward to seeing the fuel usage with the new engine, along with other performance numbers.

Very informative! I enjoyed the presentation.

nice, I like the 2520 bracket to get on and off at the beach. Is there a ladder on the 23 footer?

How much fuel does your boat carry?

You got divorced from the little yami JT

What happen on the 4 blade testing?

Ready to rock!!

Safe travels cap.

Hey : sliced some fresh medium tomatoes in half and cooked them up on my big steel griddle. Oh my ! Unbelievable taste explosion. 67 years - never knew. Doing some more tonight. Thank you ,thank you Cap !

Hey Capt how many hours did you get out of your old motor? Any major problems? I have the same ones

You did your preflight capt

🎉 enjoy your trip!
