Some of the Power Cats' did a Pacific Crossing a while back. I think it was
1200 miles of ocean. Impressive for a 24' and a 27' boat. You might be
able to arrange for a refueling with a fishing boat, but you're sure setting
a risk factor that some would find downright unacceptable.

Can it be done? Surely. Are you capable? Perhaps. Is the boat capable?
I'd sure want to nake sure I had fuel and emergency provisions in excess
(mose like 50% in excess) of any reasonable projections.

Enjoy.

You simply can't get the 28 hp Yanmar Diesel outboards that, two on a
small cat, crossed from the West coast to Hawaii.
