Hi boating community,

New boater here. Will start by saying I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but I have a vision, and I want to make it happen.

I plan on buying this boat, with this outboard motor, with this external fuel tank. I plan to launch this off the beach, for use in the Peconic Bay on Long Island. I want to be able to fish and to make the roughly 10 mile trip to Greenport.

My questions to the community:

Is this a feasible setup? Roughly what sort of range and top speed am I looking at? Anything else I'm missing (lifejacket, paddle, etc.)? Is the tank compatible with the engine? Do I need a license or registration of any sort? Any other glaringly obvious things I need to think about?
