Narrative:
During climb out; I was about 2700 feet; 6-8 miles south-southwest of boston; I believe over the quincy/braintree area; I came within a couple hundred feet of drone. It was about 2 feet by 2 feet in size; black; four blade; and was rocking back and forth in the turbulence. I reported it to boston departure. The next controller followed up with more questions about it. After arriving at my destination; I was told to contact the massachusetts state police. I called and just verified what I told ATC.
