I personally know a guy who crossed the North Atlantic carrying just 12 gallons
of fuel, and it did it twice.

Of course, he have a sailboat, but what the hey.

could a craft this small really hold enough fuel to make the voyage?? My
24' Baja has "only" an 80 gal fuel tank. Somehow, I don't think I'd try
crossing w/ that little bit of fuel - even if I thought the boat would
surviv the journey!

On the other hand...if you are bound and determined to do this...move up
to
the Nordica 20 or Halman 20/21.
Then you have a quarter of a chance.
note: both 20 footers seem fairly plentiful at $6500-8000 CDN.
