Took mine waaaaaaay too far but felt like I was as prepared as about any boat out there. Doesn't matter how big or how many motors (to a point!) if you aren't prepared to begin with.
I was more comfortable at 45 - 50 miles in the V than 65+ FWIW. Once you hit the gulfstream a lot of times it will be more windy/choppy out there. Where I fish the stream is 65 from the rocks.
It has been a few years since I ventured out more than 10 miles. Mainly because the epirb expired but I also started to re-think taking my old boat and motor out so far.
