well, the big e is fast enough to run up to 150 miles and still have good fishing time in a 24 hour period. as far as i can see you're the only texas party boat who can accomplish this
. i believe you guys do about 22-24 knots cruising? if so youre right around 25-27 mph. boomvang is 116nm from freeport. So, you're looking at around a 5 hour run to boomvang/nancen.
if the boat left at around 1 or 2PM you're going to get there around 6/7 PM....can fish all night until 6/7AM then gun straight home and get back to the dock around noon. you could probably then turn right around and head back out for a second night, back to back.
the reason i suggest that is because the boats up north do it for canyon trips with a lot of success. the distance is not really an issue as i've been on trips that went 150 miles and we still had a lot of fishing time that night. realistically i think most people come on these trips for tuna. amberjack/grouper are kind of a 'bonus'
on these trips, you could also eliminate any "frills" that might normally raise some prices (i.e. no need to provide meals - just regular galley with concessions), plus you wouldn't need to run and keep baits for bottom fishing. It's great on a 2+ day trip to have meals, showers, etc.....but on an overnighter its not as big of a deal. i'll sleep on the deck if need be
