I agree Willy. *But what I and I think Ferm are really saying is, we each have our own limitations. *I don't feel like I'm rolling the dice at all taking a v-20 30 to 40 miles off. *But that's just me. *I've been to the stream(70+ miles each way) in a friend's 26 Regulator countless times. *I don't feel any safer in that boat than I would in my boat at 30 - 40 miles off. *

Now the 34 venture I fished the stream on a couple of months ago with triple 275 Verados feels a little safer. ;D ;D ;D *And faster :o :o :o
