someone posted a couple days ago that this cooler was a perfect replacement for the one that comes with the boat:

Hooked 35

The Hooked 35 quart cooler is the perfect cooler for spending a day on the water or out in the woods. This can easily hold all the food and beverages for 2-3 people, so make sure to pack everything you’ll want to eat or drink. The Hooked 35 quart cooler is extremely durable, holds 35 cans...

Site says 23" w, 15.2" h, 13.5 d

That's quite some range... 233 miles at 3.5 mpg, with a 10% reserve that's another 26 miles....

Haha, I wasn't sure if the question was around if the tank will fit under the leaning post (cooler spot) so I answered with the information I had that could help!

I measured my 2018 210 FSH. It will fit. 29.75" length inside of seat posts, above ice chest recess. 15" deep to hitting the seat cushion, so it will stick out the back 3-4". 14" to bottom of seat cross bars, from above the ice chest recess.

You may have to add fillers under it because it's going to ride up above the ice chest recess. No middle support.

Thank you.

How long of a trip is that?

How long of a trip is that?

That's about 80 miles one way with no refueling station.

Thanks FBR!

If anyone happens to be out by there boat with a ruler I wouldn’t mind knowing the height on the front seat, the hard part under the cushion. I guess I got to figure out how to make that into a bed I’ll probably connect the fishing platform in the front to the center consul seat to get enough space for two people to sleep. The easiest would be to have a cooler that fit there and that’s about the right height and make up the rest with a board and cushion.
‘well I could just get a bigger boat also.

Is there any way to rig up a 2-person hammock tent from the tower? Flite 2-Person Tree Tent (3.0)
sleeping on a couple inches of closed cell foam over a piece of plywood will not be comfortable. The berths on the Bene have 4" of medium density open cell foam and I still find it hard to get good sleep. Just a thought.

Now that I think about it, Bahamas still have covid limitation and new US policy could further prevent the crossing. Let me know how the trip in Dry Tortugas go and how the fuel management worked for you, where you docked/camped etc.

 

[Liveto99]

It probably won’t happen till summer, but my boat is in Islamarada and I live in NY so planning takes a bit.

There is only one place to camp and dock there, it is a National Park. I believe the Marquesas are sand islands about halfway between Key West and it’s a dry Tortugas. They might be a cool shorter trip. Also the Fl keys are tropical and a great place to boat!

I just looked it up, looks like perfect for camping and its only 25 miles from the keys, looks perfect

Could you tell me the height of the front seat I any chance please. The height of the fiberglass where the cushion sits. Thanks.

We have a different boat I measured mine before I believe it’s 18” but I’ll measure again today when the rain stops to be sure i have to take mooring cover off

 

[Liveto99]

Ty
Don’t take the mooring cover off it’s good enough
