How far have you been in your V?
Just thought i would ask. What is the furthest you have been in your V20?
Personally, i have been 35 miles out in the Gulf, and add onto that about 10 miles to get the Gulf from the landing. So 45 miles each way. So 90-100 miles round trip for me. Took the entire 60 gallon tank, and the four 5 gallon cans we had on deck. Still had to call TowBoat to bring 5 more gallons of fuel.  Next spring, pending a V20 remodel and newer motor, i plan on a 60 mile run to the rigs for tuna.

Furthest away from shore? Spent a day cruising the Suwannee, 60 miles one way, I could always see both banks. Fuel burn was crazy good with the new to me motor that day.
