We have a 23 mako with a 200 hp merc. OB. We mainly fish backbay and inlet but are looking to get out in the ocean this summer. Last summer we were out three miles for croakers and weakfish but that was about as far as we went. Getting to the point, we were looking to push it a little further this summer, maybe 20 miles at an absolute max for inshore trolling and ocean fluking/seabass. As far as safety equipment goes, does the boat really need any hardcore safety equipment? I understand the real offshore guys get epirb and a raft, but for 20 miles at most is epirb still recommended? What additional safety equipment/spare parts would you recommend for inside the 20 mile range? Thanks for all the input, come on spring! :fighting:
