What year is she? 9 miles is nothing for a V20. I have had mine out 35 miles with a 1985 motor that seen better days. Next year if i have a newer motor i am going to double that with a 70 mile run to the rigs for tuna. I have no problem taking a V that far out.
Also whats up with the disappearing "PENN" sticker? I see it in the second pic but not the third. Its driving me up a wall trying to figure it out.
