There is not 1 Sea Tow Boat from Galveston to The Westbank of NOLA, don't count on them if your offshore and need help. You would do better hailing a crew boat. EPIRB for sure, an offshore ditch bag. The best thing to do is go with a buddy boat. 24' Sea Fox has a nice Vee to it and should do well in the Gulf if it's not to sloppy.
Also, don't go cheap on maintence of your boat, make sure everything is in working order.
