Farthest You Have Been Offshore In Bay Boat

A friend of mine in on the Florida Panhandle recently took a 24 foot pathfinder about 40 miles offshore - which seems crazy to me.
Thought this might be a good OB question - what is the farthest you have been offshore in a bay boat, where and what brand/size of boat.

40 seems a bit much IMO. Although if it is a truly blue bird day with slick calm seas your fuel tank is you only real limit.

32 miles. Left out of Dauphin Island.

I don't think it's that crazy in a deep V on a slick calm day
Farthest I've been in a bay boat was around 15 miles in Florida but we've seen tiny boats at rigs snapper/AJ/grouper fishing on our way back in from tuna fishing

On the west side of the state you have to make long runs to find deep water.
I may be pulling this number out of my arse, but I think 50 miles is the norm to catch snapper and AJ's leaving out of the ship channel in Hackberry.

I've been about 15 miles in a single engine 22' Boston Whaler. Everything else has been in a dedicated offshore boat.
I've watched a guy go out to West Delta during the Tarpon rodeo in a 17' Boston Whaler by himself. Other boats were in the area, but still crazy to me. Dude ended up catching the a Tarpon by himself.

Midnight lump out of Venice, so about 25 miles out of tiger pass.
Posted on 3/19/15 at 11:01 am to DeltaDoc
Was out at the lump and had a big Carolina Skiff with a 70 or 90hp tiller come rolling up. That was some shite.

I've been 22 miles up the California coast in my 18' Polar CC.
And I've been 40 miles out in my buddy's 19' Sea Arima chasing albacore.
Can't say that I was ever really nervous.

I take my 19' CC Mako out 20-25 miles for snapper and mangroves. I'm puckered up the whole time too.

Boomvang from Freeport in a 29 Contender, 120+ miles. Not a bayboat, but not a big boat. It was a blast.... That Contender was catching some air on the way out!!!! 
ETA- It's a Century, but I'll leave the mistake so you guys can keep having fun...

I saw a 16 foot aluminum bass boat boat motoring along out of sight of land out of Hackberry.

About 22 miles in a 22' Pro Master, but it was slicker than bird shite. We would go 12 miles with some regularity, though.
Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should

Not very far.
I went about 10 miles out of Orange Beach in a 22' Contender.

About 15-20 miles south of Marsh Island/SW Pass in a 21' Nauticstar with single 150. I wouldn't do it if the weather wasn't favorable but I haven't been worried when I did it...
