Great trip! I couldn't dream of going that far.
Last Wednesday we took my V (175 HP two-stroke) with four guys and full dive gear on a lobster trip. 28 miles out. The current was ripping and we were having trouble with the anchor, so we ended up idling all day to stay on top of our divers. Then ran back nearly 35 miles due to making an out-of-the-way stop on the way in. I gotta admit, I was starting to get nervous about fuel (I have no gauge). We burned 50 out of 60 gallons.
