I think bs is referring to the 19' al boat in the second article.  Wish they had shown a better picture of it. 
 
I guess we all have different ideas of wave measurement.  Here on The gulf coast, our waves are primarily wind driven.  When its 2-3 here, it's miserable.  I cant imagine going out in a 20 ft boat in 3-5.  The only time we get a nice smooth ground swell in during a hurricane.
