Gotcha Mike.

Well, my boat was made before people would contemplate going that far on a center console. My under deck tank is 32 Gal, and I have 12 more in the console.

I can easily cary another 14 in jugs, which I do sometimes.

BUT, I don't trust my under deck tank, so I haven't been using it.

Anyway, I can cruise at 25Kts if the seas are 1-2 feet, max.

At 25kts i use about 4 gph, so I would say my range at 26 gals is 160 Mi. total, so I wouldn't really venture more than 50 mi from the slip. Once I replace the tank under the deck, I hope to get another 35 gal which would extend me quite a bit.

So, anyway, if they were only 30 miles from PJ, I would be all for it.

I know nothing about fishing for anything other than our inshore species.

What is typical gear? I know you need some sort of a federal license, but what are the details on that? If you know what you are doing, what are the typical success rates? Is a 19 ft. boat too small????
