Great trip you've got planned, Scuba. I hope you can post something here when you are in Aruba. Looking forward to see how it goes, and also if you have any problems with taking your gear.
That Tiara 31 is a fantastic boat. Good luck with the survey and transport to Michigan. Is she powered by 454's, or are there a pair of diesels in in her belly?
A pair of Crusader 454's. Diesels were a tad pricey. Transportation to Michigan is only 3 grand.
