Wow how many gallons of fuel did you use? I know I don't have that kind of range with my 350 i/o.

Garage has me beat, good to know I'm not the only one that ventures out that far but for me it was 50 miles out of Beaufort Inlet in North Carolina to the Gulf Stream. I had to bring 30 gallons in 5 gallon jugs for that trip. 160 miles round trip at a burn rate of 2.1 MPG.

Depends on what I am fishing----

Halibut is 38 miles one way off the coast for me
Salmon generally closer in, onshore to 20 miles out--
Tuna is anywhere from a 40 to 65 mile run each way plus trolling--I have had over 180 miles in a day Tuna fishing.

I get 3.8 miles to gallon X 60 gal tk = 228mi
What carb are you running?

Flemish cap in 30' waves stacked up 2 seconds apart.

Seriously, 40 miles. Longest round trip around 120 miles and burned 48 gallons with the yamaha 150.

30+ miles out of Portsmouth NH in the deep blue Atlantic. Twice my brother and I spent the night drift fishing out there.

58 miles out of Rudee Inlet yellowfin tuna and white marlin fishing on my dads v20.

My first month of ownership, my 1986 V20cc made a trip the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay….no problem !

Ok make that 45 miles after this season. It was a bottom trip so the burn was less. Around 35 - 40 gallons.
