You definitely don't need to go all the way to the bank to catch cod...especially early in the season. I'm not familiar with the waters south of Boston, but up around the northshore, there are plenty of places to codfish just a few miles offshore.
I'm sure there are plenty of holes and wrecks that hold fish within easy reach for a 17 footer...but like the others have said, pick your days and keep a constant eye on the weather conditions.
