She cruises around 25 knots, touches 30, and just received fresh bottom paint and a new Lowrance Active Imaging HD dual thru‑hull transducer in July 2026.

Outfitted to fish hard, she sports a GAP tower with full upper controls and a 7-inch Simrad, TACO outriggers with center rigger, insulated boxes, transom livewell, and 400 gallons of fuel.

Thinking about Bahamas hops or Gulf Coast runs? Before you trust a glossy brochure range, we map your real-world cruising profile. Mike’s approach starts with how you actually run the boat—speed, load, sea state, crew, tender use—and builds a plan that delivers confidence, not surprises.

Here’s the quick checklist we use to validate range and readiness:
- Real range, not brochure math: We calculate fuel burn at your true passagemaking speed, add sea-state penalties, and preserve a 20–30% reserve for contingencies.
- Redundancy where it counts: Dual Racors, spare impellers and belts, backup nav sources, two independent comms paths, and a genset strategy that keeps refrigeration and stabilization online if something goes down.
- Tender strategy: Fuel capacity and jerry can plan, range for beach hops and recon, davit limits, and a launch/retrieval workflow that works in chop and current.
- Spares and tools: Mission-specific list for filters, zincs, pumps, hoses, clamps, fluids, fuses, and a sensible tool roll—staged for fast access underway.
- Route realities: For the Bahamas, we plan fuel dock hours, customs touchpoints, and shallow-water drafts. For the Gulf Coast, we account for long ICW legs, inlet bars, current, bridge timings, and weather windows.
- Service and sourcing: Known parts suppliers along your route and a satellite-friendly ordering plan to avoid downtime.

Whether you’re threading the banks to Staniel or stretching a leg from Clearwater to Apalachicola, we’ll align vessel capability to your itinerary with hard numbers and practical backups. Learn more about the process on our website.

Storm season doesn’t wait, and neither should your paperwork. Build a simple two-bin document kit now—one that lives onboard and one that stays offsite—so you’re ready to move fast, file claims quickly, and get back on the water with minimal downtime.

Onboard bin: a small, waterproof, clearly labeled container secured in a dry, accessible locker. Offsite bin: a fireproof safe at home or with a trusted contact outside your storm zone. Mirror the contents so either kit can stand alone.

Use this checklist to build yours today:
- Vessel documents: current registration, title copies, licenses, passports for owner/operator, crew list.
- Insurance package: policy declarations, agent contacts, deductible notes, claim instructions, recent survey, financing details.
- Photo and video inventory: date-stamped shots of hull, topsides, engines, electronics, sails/rigging, tenders, serial numbers, and any upgrades.
- Captain’s notes: step-by-step storm checklist for your boat—battery isolation, thru-hull status, fuel and water levels, sail removal, canvas plan, line sizes and chafe gear, storm mooring diagram, and emergency contacts.
- Marina and yard agreements: dock contract, haul-out reservation, hurricane plan, storage terms, and any pre-authorization for yard work.
- Digital backups: USB drive with PDFs and media; cloud folder link printed and stored in both bins. Include key passcodes and tracker info, sealed.
- Quick-reference sheet: boat identifiers, MMSI/HIN, EPIRB details, tow membership, preferred service vendors.

Review and update every 90 days and after any maintenance or upgrades. When the forecast shifts, you won’t be scrambling—you’ll be executing a plan.

There’s real confidence in having a USCG-licensed broker stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the technician during diagnostics and the sea trial. My role is to translate raw data into plain-English, go/no-go decisions—so you understand exactly what you’re buying, what it will cost to own, and where to negotiate.

Before we ever talk numbers, we pull the ECMs and let the engines tell their story: true hours, load history, fault codes, boost and fuel rates, EGTs, and temperature trends. Then we sea trial to verify. Are we achieving rated WOT RPM under proper load? Are coolant and gearbox temps stable? Any vibration signatures at certain RPMs that hint at alignment or prop issues? What does the fuel burn curve look like at cruise versus the builder’s spec?

Green flags are consistent data: clean oil samples, stable temps, target WOT, smooth acceleration, and fault-free logs. Yellow flags might be minor aftercooler service, borderline batteries, or dated impellers—fixable, and useful at the negotiating table. Red flags are clear: chronic overheat under load, low WOT on both engines, metal in oil, persistent sensor faults, or uncommanded derate events.

Quick pre-close checklist we walk through:
- ECM/diagnostic pull with fault history and load profile
- WOT RPM and speed vs. manufacturer spec
- Temperature stability: coolant, EGT, gearbox
- Oil samples and vibration analysis
- Fuel burn curve and boost at cruise/WOT
- Sea trial notes: tracking, trim, cavitation, smoke

A second set of eyes doesn’t complicate the process—it clarifies it, protects your investment, and gets you to a confident yes or a smart no.

Before the first tropical alert hits the Gulf, give your boat 30 minutes that could save you thousands. A focused deck walk today can prevent chafe, leaks, and failures when the barometer starts falling. Move bow to stern with purpose, fix what you find on the spot, and head into the season confident.

Use this quick checklist:
- Chafe points: Inspect dock lines, spring lines, fender whips, and running rigging at fairleads and chocks. Add chafe gear, upsized fenders, and fresh mooring lines where needed.
- Hardware and fasteners: Test cleats, stanchions, pad eyes, bimini frames, and lifelines for movement. Tighten backing plates, replace cracked bases, and rebed with sealant if you see any weep.
- Deck drains and scuppers: Clear leaves, teak dust, and caulk crumbs. Flush with a hose and confirm fast, unrestricted flow from cockpit to waterline.
- Canvas and sails: Remove or secure sails, covers, and sunshades. Check zippers and lash points; replace UV-brittle ties and add secondary lashings.
- Hatches, ports, and seals: Clean gaskets, l**e hinges, and verify latches pull tight. Replace tired O-rings and add a bead of silicone where needed.
- Power and protections: Check shore power strain relief, secure cords, stow loose gear, and rig redundancy on critical lines.

Aim for clean, tight, and quiet: no rubbing, no rattles, no standing water. If you don’t have the time or tools, schedule a quick storm-hardening service now—slots disappear fast once the first alert goes out.

Stay proactive, stay afloat, and let the forecast be the only drama this week.
