ive been 50 plus miles out in my v and other comparable boats. but thats ms/la area and a whole nother animal. but trips to chandeleur and other parts of the marsh as well as running the deepwater rigs for red snapper are commonplace in smaller boats around here
but if you guys are serious and wouldnt mind i would love to consider making a buddy boat crossing this summer. just much safer that way in my opinion. this summers plan is already to pull hte dually to the keys and have some fun with my boy and a crossing would be the icing on the cake for us. biggest reason for wanting to do it this way is that im poor. airfare, charter boats... who can afford all that? to throw our dive gear and fishing gear in the boat and pull it down there is about the only way for me. more adventurous and probably more fun.
let me know
