Furthest offshore in your V boat

Tremendous.

I never took the Pipe Dream more than about 8 miles offshore to one of our artificial reefs. On that day a typical summer storm popped up and like Blue I had to go into it to get home. That's just another thing I like about fishing in the Keys, if one pops up just go east or west to get around it.

I'm much happier in something more substantial offshore, 28 feet or more.

I've taken mine 30-40 miles out of the pass. but usually no more than 20 miles offshore. This was when i was doing a lot of diving, so depth was a factor, under 120 ft or less. Tried to keep it where there was not very much decompression time.

I would have loved to have had the four stroke range back then.
