Crossing open water in a small boat with gasoline outboards has been done and if you pick good weather its possible. But risky. Outboards can be dependable but not on the level of a diesel. What if you lose one of the engines?
A 21' center console is not made to cross open water.
Fountain did Key West to Isla Mujeres in a matter of hours in a 48' diesel express cruiser. I had a 47' Fountain gasoline rocket and would not dream of trying to cross 140 miles of ocean in it.
