Probably never do it again but 70+ miles. NE Wind kicked up on the way in still 50 miles out. Pucker factor was HIGH while fuel was getting LOW.

Texas Tower 75 out. Did Chicken Canyon 60 out many times.
I saw a story somewhere about someone back in the 70's taking a V20 to the Cayman Islands from Miami

Took mine from sandy hook nj to Puerto Rico and trolled both ways n e winds 20 to 30 knots and had fuel left when I got back
No seriously I took mine fron sandy hook to the mud buoy , and the reef and the sea right rocks ,that's as far as I go. A man has to know his limitations Mileage wise? I would say 25 miles maybe 30 both ways , 15 to 17 out and then back always in the sight of land

Like Skunk, I went to the sunken Texas tower back in the 1970's when I lived in So.Tom's River in my first V20 (4 cyl I/O) I had several extra gas cans on board and needed them coming back because that boat only had saddle tanks. Scared silly and will never do it again in such a small boat. Fortunately, the seas were calm that day so I was never in any real danger, but I was nervous the entire day, and fishing is supposed to be relaxing.

I'm sure on a nice day any V would do it but I'm really concerned about only having one engine. That's what I'm concerned about.like ou said it is so posed to be relaxing.2years ago I just put my boat in the water at Atlantic highlands and came around the breaker wall and s tarted heading toward the hook and hit a whale,so anything can happen

I'm considering Belmar to Montauk for 2-3 day trip in the V.
Weather window: 1 high pressure settled in over mid atlantic which happens at least 1x each summer. 2. low risk T storms 125 miles each way....BUT many inlets I'm familiar with along the south shore of LI.
