10 miles offshore was the furthest for me, thats a log way from land!! Around here you are good till noon most days but no matter what the day is like at noon if catching fish or not you head back toward land!! The afternoon wind can pick up and your flat water gets nasty!
Going along the coast I have gone many miles with my 175 and always was great time!
Biggest fish on the V was a 300# Blue Shark while Cod fishing.

Wow - a 300lb blue shark - big. I assume released ? Not edible right.
Only Mako's really worth eating.

yes released, but I have caught a 10' Mako also but not on my boat, thats when a friend started calling me Mako Joe. I did not have a computer at the time, but when I did Mako was taken so thats when I came up with Macojoe and here I am! But while out Cod fishing we have caught many many sharks of that size and bigger

25-30 Miles Offshore for Halibut/Salmon and no problems so far with gas when filled up before leaving the dock.

Wow how many gallons of fuel did you use? I know I don't have that kind of range with my 350 i/o.
