The Villages Florida

The biggest factor would be can it go through a tunnel, just about any trip requires going through a tunnel. A Yamaha gas cart is 47" wide, 94" length, 71" high, other than the length, it looks like your vehicle will fit. A Yamaha cart will hold about 6 gallons and gets about 40 to 50 mpg, that tank is less than 2 gallons, might be cutting your trips a bit short. Your HP 8.2 , a Yamaha cart is about 11 HP. It would probably work, but a golf cart is so much better suited.

As far speed, golf carts without a license tag and to operate on the street cart lanes are limited to 20 mph by state law, anything faster is consider an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) and requires a license tag and full car insurance. Since yours goes 35 and won't have a tag, it might catch the eye of a cop if you're going flat out. Dialing back the speed and changing out the tires would probably be necessary.
