Rick,

I am working, but we are going out on Saturday, bringing an old 16 foot Sidewinder along. You can run 35MPH once you get past Atlantic heading North, or Past Linto heading south. If you want to run all out, no speed limit then you need to make it to Boynton. the area north of Boynton inlet til you get to Lantana is all out, no speed limit.

Rick

I am not gonna lie to you, I speed theu there every chance I get, I just wanted to tell ya what the signs say so that if ya got ticketed it wasnt my fault:D Yeah it can get ruff in there, it is also narrow in spots, not much room to get out of the way of a cruiser wake. How far North did you go? Once you get past Boynton(Banana Boat) it opens up quite nice, but you still need to be aware of the channel due to depth issues, and there are a few more slow zones once you get up to West Palm. Next time you get out, run south from that ramp, there is a nice ride through North Boca, and you can run thru the one bridge, but be careful, Boca Cops sit right at the spot where you pull off plane shortly south of the bridge. We will be out kinda early on Saturday, but if the weather is nice may stay out into the afternoon.
