How far do you go offshore, with a single outboard???

**I've seen a few 50 miles out here in Ocean City, Maryland**

[ngirolamo]

off the east coast of Florida (Boynton Beach )in our 23 WA Key West f-250.. almost 20 miles so far,,, in search of that perfect weed line..

[boatowner1122]

15 miles in my 19' DC Trophy w/150 Saltwater XL

[gordo35]

I've been out 65 miles off of the Mississippi Coast. Granted, seas were flat calm and we were with a buddy boat.

81 miles looking for a tuna patch last Memorial Day weekend, fishing the New Smyrna Bch FishStock Tourney.

Go 50 all the time

[chris V]

the ledge out of charleston is around 50, so thats pretty regular, sometimes farther if reports of fish.

I've been 50 miles out on a nice day. Engine is still new and well maintained. I figure it would take me 10 to 12 hours to get back with my kicker.

[Onewolf]

I took my Grady-White Strike 24 with Yamaha 250 out 35-50 miles on a regular basis. I've never lost an engine offshore. Of course I never shutdown an engine offshore either.

My 1998 225 Yamaha OX66 goes out 40 to 50 miles on my 22 Cobia when weather is nice.

Without a kicker 25 miles is about my limit on the east coast--23 SE with F 225. At that point there is a lot of faith on the VHF reaching somone to contact Tow Boat US. Have not had so much as a sputter so far in 400 hrs, but with mechanical things anything is possible.

Just a foul up with that safety switch can make you dead in the water. It is easy to bypass but I have not done it yet on my new rig. It is not uncommon for those things to shut down. My 21 SE quit right in the middle of Ocean City Inlet. Took a few minutes to find the problem with big sportfishermen roaring by me and my boat bobbing up and down in their wakes.

I guess with the technology getting better, more and more people will venture out further.

[rondebmar]

Ran out to 30 NM Wednesday, lookin' for 'phin...20' KW DC, single well-maintained Yammie F115...got all the necessary gear, well within VHF range of many other off shore boats here in the Keys...MMSI enabled, good weather, great sea conditions, etc.

What the hell, flew 2000 hrs in single engined aircraft with USN...

Had only one complete engine failure (turbine at that)...so simply dead-sticked it in... *

Far fewer*problems in a boat...

I did 40-55 miles on a regular basis over the years in my 21CC's and the GW 22 Tournament. Biggest problem I ever had was getting a hook stuck in the hydraulic steering line. Using the old Hynautic pressurized system ....

[animal mother]

50 miles in a sea hunt232 f225(good weather)

[pirate36]

I'm sure Gafish912 will reply to this soon enough. He has a nice 23 KW with a 300 that he often takes to the stream off the coast of Savannah. A good run from here.

[fisherman for life]

I bought my grady from a guy that ran it to the stream regulary out of brunswick/ savannah area in ga. Seventy five miles or something close. ox66 200. I am ready to go down to destin and run 45 to 60 and not have fear pending sea conditions and actually getting a couple days off of work. Ran 25 out of sebastain on it's maiden voyage in 2 to 4's and loved the ride! 228 seafarer
