    Re: Looking for educated est. on boat travel days. Baltimore Area, West Palm, Ft Myer

    I have done Baltimore to Miami and I've done the OWW from Stuart to Mobile....all more than once.....and I agree with Pascal that allowing for laydays ( we took a few) and weather but with a reasonable determination to get to the intended destination....17 days (+/-) would suffice.

    I brought ours down from Boston to Tampa. We averaged 100mi per day. We pushed on the last few days to 160 but that was a bear....

    Remember as the days grow shorter you have less daylight hours to run.

    Y'all are wonderful and the real numbers really help us with understanding what we would be getting into at a minimum. I had a broker loosely say 15,000 would be a minimum with Captain and fuel and I would say he was pretty close plus other fees.

    Paschal is on target, as are others here. Hull speed gets incredibly monotonous but (at least in my experience) things tend break less, and cost less when they do, than at planing speed. I’ve often referred back to my Grandfather’s advice in situations like these....”no sense in being in a hurry unless you are really in a hurry”. I would run it up occasionally to keep carbon buildup to a minimum, then hull speed the rest of the way.
