OK, I stand corrected, 330 NM Geez

What I am trying to point out, and it is a valid point... is that the OP asked for long range then described his intended cruising area. Long range in the context of what he was asking for is long range for the entire trip, not long range between ports.

We can make Coastal Cruising more difficult than necessary. We can make it require a more substantial boat than necessary.

Or we can look at it based on the facts, which are that fuel is available, and ports actually exist along the way.

And... prudent sailors are capable of making the trip in almost any boat they choose, quite safely and comfortably.

I think the boat he pointed out would be a very comfortable, capable boat for what he is intending to do. Of course he would need to replace his anchor, and ffit the boat out as he sees fit for his intended cruising range. Thats a given.
