I do get 5 mpg (statute) with my single 140 4-stroke. That gives me the range you are looking for with my 40 gal tank (not the original, it was a 60). I also get 40 mph top speed. I never run more that 25-28 in the ocean, even on calm days, it tears up too much stuff.

I could run 60 miles out, but not by myself. Even with twins you run the risk of getting stranded if you go by yourself.

If I were in your shoes, I would get a newer or new 4 stroke 140, 150, or 175, and go with a buddy.
