Don't forget safety equipment...VHF marine radio, flares, PFD's.

And get towing insurance....you'll only need it once to be glad you spent the money.
thanks for the info. honestly I would probably be either the atlantic highlands or shark river. maybe barnegat. most likely highlands or shark river as the fishing at barnegat seems to not be producing much lately for us.
