There is very limited space onboard so think through how you rig the boat.
Having everyone wear a PDF and having a handheld VHF attached to your PDF improves your safety.
You do not need a bilge pump. Run with the plug in and then pull it when on a plane to drain.
In using portable tanks with inshore fuel a separator is not necessary.
The modern 130 has a different hull design and is much heavier so it has a better ride.
The hull is gelcoat and will be damaged by coral, and will damage the coral too. Avoid this.
