First trip offshore-got caught offshore and ran as soon as it started picking up--but in 30 minutes it can really build fast..button down the hatchs and hang on...40 knot winds--a sharp 5 to 6' and when I hit the"hole in the wall" to get between the shore and tatoosh island--with the swell, wind chop and swell--I will swear we went through( no shizit) some 10'rs--not pleasant at all--probably ate green water 8 to 10 times--glad I had the enclosure. Be calm and work the throttle.
pretty regular offshore is 4 to 5' with 1' chop--but the inshore is a cake walk at 1 to2'.
The trim tabs made a huge diff in smoothing out the ride, but still use the motor a lot depending on the chop on top of the swell, this is where you are glad the steering cable went in the garbage for hyd steering.
