. I have seen 18'
Bayliners 50 miles offshore, but the mfg'er would never call them
an
offshore boat.

18' bayliner 50 mi. off shore?

Now THAT is taking ones life in their own hands!

I doubt an 18 footer could carry enough fuel to take it out 50 miles
and
then back.

Well, I would say it probably would if you had it full of jerry cans
loaded with gas. And I can imagine there are those who would try it.

I figured my 18'er would do it using about 18-19 gallons. With a 40
gallon
tank, that would leave me half a tank when I got back.

It would have to be an extremely calm day before I'd try it thought!

How fast can conditions change 50 miles out from shore on the Atlantic?


You go answer my questions first.

I would think my question trumps yours John.

If you feel comfortable going out 50 miles offshore onto the Atlantic Ocean
on your 16 footer then you are..........err..........ummmm......well, you
are stupid, even though you may think you have enough fuel for the round
trip.

Is your life insurance paid up?


Reading comprehension problems, Jim?
