Agree, even a little Cessna can get a ferry permit to add bladder tanks to make it from the mainland to Hawaii without much issue. I came close to doing it with my 182 many years ago.
I shouldn't say without issue, as there are many things that go into a ferry flight such as this, but my point is it can be done.
