Some of these guys were running 180 miles from Hyannis...

If you go, be careful esp if you have a < 35' boat. You don't want this to be a one way trip.

If I was younger and single...I would do it in my boat but not now. 180 is a haul even if you have the range.
A friend of mine fishing out there in his 40 footer said that there were two 22' center consoles fishing and they did catch.

The Gloucester fleet named the center consoles, "Death Wish one & two."
