From North Carolina to Bermuda, (675 miles of open ocean),From Bermuda to New York Harbor, (775 miles of open ocean).in an UNESCORTED FLATS BOAT. By definition a flats boat is a single engine,low profile, open fishing style boat, that can run in less than one foot of water. This Intruder 21 can run in 4 - 6 inches of water.

The US Coast Guard called me today to emphasize that this kind of project should not be done at home. They currently are involved in several search and rescue attempts that were related to the storm mentioned earlier. Thank God the Intruder will not sink. Of the four boats that went down between North Carolina and Bermuda in the last month, only three crews could be saved. One professional crew of three sailers perished.
