Bought a 17ft Bonito CC w/ 75HP Evinrude * Now What?*

[SwankBait]

Good Morning, Everyone. I've been freshwater bass fishing for the past 30+ years. After moving to South Jersey (Gloucester County) about 4 years ago I can see that the saltwater fishing is much more prevalent down here. A friend at my church was selling his boat and it seemed like it was the right opportunity to jump into this. It's an 1987 Bonito 17ft Center Console with a 2006 2 stroke 75HP Evinrude Ficht. I took it out down the Mullica River and into Great Bay a couple of times but I really want to navigate out to the inshore reef sites and make the most of it. So, what would be an ideal forecast to make a trip out of the Little Egg Inlet and out the 7 miles to the Little Egg Reef?
