The pressure loss will be porportional to the length of the hose. Even with a very short hose there will be some loss though it may not be noticable. I would rig up a pressure gauge at the wand end and while operating the pressure washer note the pressure at the pump and the wand at the same time. If you have a 50ft hose and the difference in pressure is, say 25 psi, then it'll be 50 psi for a 100 ft hose and 75 psi for 150 ft hose and so forth, assuming the hose is the same size from on end to the other. The smaller the hose the greater the pressure drop.

When my son was building his house on the 5 acres next to ours we ran about 300ft of 3/8" air hose from my compressor (100 psi max)to his place to run an air nailer. It worked ok as long as they didn't try to nail too fast
