No way I am going out 35 miles on a 21 foot open fisherman with one engine. You are just asking for trouble. 35 miles out with the possibility of 9 to 11 foot waves? Suicide run.
I talked to a friend who used to have a nice open fisherman probably a 27’ with two Honda outboards. Very nice boat.
He said his radio had an emergency pinger that you could press in case you were in trouble and had to tend to the emergency. He said you just had to hit the button.
Yeah, but those 9 to 11 footers wasn't going to be til Sunday. This was Saturday morning. SE winds off of Clearwater headed west. They probably didn't even have 3 footers for the first 15 or so miles.
