Would like a boat that would be able to take me and 1 other person and most 2 other people out to At least 9 mile bank and back during the summer.
My friend owns a 22 foot sail boat with 6 hp outboard that we cruise out on flat days and have made 30 mile round trips.
Whats the smallest thing i could get away with.
Would an 18 foot bayliner do the trick?

Find people/s in you area to share fishing /boating expenses with, if possible, prior to making decisions , it'll help with trailering, dropping, maintenance, handling, ocean conditions and more.

Really depends on your budget. Seen guys in 16ft whaler out at the 43 in 5-6 rolling waves. And some won’t leave the harber in 45 cruisers. Learn the patterns and the 9 is easy. Plenty of smaller walk around s are good place to start 20-23.

I've seen guys fishing the Coronado islands on jetski's.....thats about 14 miles from San Diego harbor. I would think a 18-22' boat would is fine...just pick your days.

I fish on a jet ski from La Jolla to San Clemente....the weather is extremely predictable here. Most mornings are good and the wind picks up a bit after noon which can create a chop. There are plenty of boats on CL that would be a good option for you just depends on your budget. If you want to get to nine mile bank I’m assuming you want to get into the BFT/YFT but there is plenty of good fishing near shore as well.
Good Luck!
