Long R/T distance traveled in a 190?

Tomorrow I am making a 42 nm fishing trek from my dock in Colonial Heights, Va to Hampton, Va. via the James River. I have gone from C.H. to Jametown in just under 1 hour 10 minutes. On that trip I did make the mistake of not topping off the tank before the trip and ended up with a blinking last bar, 10 miles from the closest marina. This trip is 10 miles further so Im going to top-off AND bring a 5 gallon can of gas...just in case. I do plan on refueling in Hampton for the afternoon trip back to C.H.

So between the Round Trip distance of 84 +/-nm and spot to spot transit time/trolling of 10-15 miles, That will put me at close to or at 100 miles in a 190, in one day...I'll have fun but will be a little leary.

I'll report back.

Anyone else have any distance stories in a 190?
