I have done the "bow stuff" while trolling when that 4-5 footer sneaks in with the 3 footers in the V...best defense on that is to go 45 degrees to the waves when going into the sea...or stay inside.
One time on my Grady White 25, I went out when it was a bit rougher than I should have, then the wind doubled, they were easily 8-10 foot seas, breaking over the top of the hard top. When we were in the bottom of the trough, you had to look WAY up on both sides to see the top of the waves...glad I wasn't in anything smaller that day.
