What a great adventure. Thanks so much for sharing. That Hard Top looks cool. Must have a LOT of thought and planning for that trip.

Why did you make the crossing and why towing a center console?

I own a home in Roatan and have always wanted to cruise down. I was going to tow my AB center console inflatable but it could not hold the extra fuel weight that I wanted for the crossing. I put the inflatable up for sale and bought a Pioneer 197. I put 4 barrels full of Diesel in the Pioneer. It towed fine. Now I have a nice fishing boat down here.

It was a great family adventure after being confined with the whole Covid deal the family was itching for a cool trip.

This is great - made my day. Thanks for sharing. Lovely family. My wife won't even leave Barnegat Bay with me lol

What made you buy in Roatan? Never been, but looks beautiful.

Bought in Honduras because I wanted an actual beachfront home and it was the only place I could afford to build what I wanted right on the beach. I will put a picture of the home on the album. It's the two story white home.

Wow I'm sorry I missed this. We just got home from Isla Mujeres and a side trip to Tulum ourselves but did not boat. What a great adventure. Did you motor the 41 back to Florida then without the extra center console/floating gas station behind you?

I ended up going on to Belize and then to Roatan in Honduras.The Maxum is currently in Utila, Honduras.
