Fuel consumption and range......

[bigshrimpin]

Way too risky with a single outboard in 20ft boat to venture 60+ miles offshore. It can be done in perfect conditions with light wind, but it's a gamble.

If you want to extend your range bring extra fuel in jugs, but go in tandem with another boat at the very minimum.

When I was younger and dumber I took my v20 a dozen times or so to Wildcat ( 50 miles east of Boston) cod fishing. I stuffed the bow once coming across stellwagen in HUGE chop. Green water ripped the windshield off . . . I had to change course and ride in the troughs up toward salem/Gloucester and hug the shore back to boston. These are capable small boats, but there are still very small . . .

I know MJ blew out his windshield filled his v20 cockpit after water hitting a rouge wave. His face got all cut up. Just be safe.
