if your boat draws less than 3 feet, you should be fine almost everywhere. You can see the bottom = time to turn smile

if you cut in at Big Marco pass, there are two fixed bridges (I think 40+ feet clearance).

with that speed demon, I think the straight shot on the outside route might work best. Cut a left at Romano between the sand bars, keep Gullivan bay marker on your left, and it's a straight shot to Cape Sable.

I guess the strategy call would be to continue directly to Duck Key and run north (ala Steeplechase) or hang a left at Cape Sable and run that route ...?

You going to have a spot transponder or anything I can keep an eye on your progress? It would be nice to watch that thing fly by... while I work on my tan and drinking muscles smile
