I'm thinking that if you can slide it into your budget, book a charter with the "smaller" boat that targets inshore dolphin specifically. Take notes on how the boat performs and how it holds the outriggers. A cooler full of dolphin is always a good thing and the guide fee could be priceless in education when selecting your own boat..
When I lived in Key West, my personal best dolphin was a 35 pound bull using a 14ft aluminum boat and flat-lining one rod. Location, Location, Location determines your boat and tackle.
