I am trying to get a feeling of what would be possible to do with my boat (not sure if my signature shows, 2007 320 sundancer 350's drives).
I want to see if its possible for me to go from Manasquan inlet nj to Menemsha martha's vineyard in one (long day). My chart plotter says 8 hours straight at 22 knts but that is a straight line and I would most likely hug to coast. I was thinking to stop in Shinnecock inlet for fuel, I burn 25-28 gph.
the furthest I have been in on day is to Montauk from tappan zee bridge NY but that was in the long island sound. I am concerned about open water from block island to MV with a 7 hours+ hot burning engines.
Is it to long of a run for my gas engine?
Beside the obvious things to look for (weather, charts, inlets and marina, alternative route in case of emergency) what other things should I be concerned about?
Please go easy on me!! it's just a thought.
I love MV and every time I go there, I am like damn I wish I had my boat....
Unfortunately I don't have to many vacation days so I am ruling out any overnight stay in between.
