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."

Were they really 22's or were those the CC 26's.

Either way - crazy. But at least the cc 26 is diesel and a good seaboat.

btw- good call on the insurance. All marine policys have navigation limits - you have to get the underwriter to extend you to go that far.

Jay how big is your boat?

A few of the GH guys are going in 36s with fuel bladders.
