Hey Tunaboyyy,
It sounds to me like you already know the answer to your question. You realize that the ocean conditions and your calculated range (fuel quantity vs. consumption) are your limiting factors. As far as the boat itself, it is up to the task safety wise, I think. I run my '04 210CC out of Oregon waters for halibut and salmon. I have fished for many years here in various boats. Bigger and smaller. I have no problems using the Triumph to go out 30 miles or more. Of course I always watch my weather and water conditions so as to not expose myself unneccessaily to trouble. The Triumph is as unsinkable as they come. It does not roll excessively in rough water (low center of gravity). If you have trust in your engine (and the USCG) these boats are up to the trip.
And on another subject, when and where do you have the best luck for tuna. I have family in Santa Barbara and want to bring my boat for some fishing. What are the basics as far as time of year, location etc?
Good luck on making your decision to buy. If you get a ride in a 210 you will like it.
Codfish.
