The boating and fishing changes a lot in different parts of Fl. Northwest is easy-breezy with no real big seas to worry about most days and deep water is a loooooong way from land. Southeast is a few hundred feet deep within 2-3 miles of shore and the gulfsream is a little past that. Miami to Bimini is less than 50 miles. Northeast is different form these and southwest & Fl Keys are another kind of different.
I like to fish in several places around Fl so I gave up a larger boat for a 20 (project) so that I can easily trailer to different places. Whatever you do I would say stay mobile. There are lots of places to see and you can't see them all from your home port.
Good luck.
