Having run my V21 through tight 4'- 5' waves, I wouldn't want to do it for say 25 - 50 miles, plus larger wave swells too.

The boat ran fine, for what it is, and with the tabs, I wasn't pounding either.

I just don't look at the V's as a serious offshore rig - more of an inshore to about 25 miles out rig. It is what it is, roomy, nice riding, great looking.

That said - hey, go for it - take it way off deep and catch lots of big fish.

For serious offshore, I'd prefer to be running a 28' Henriques, Carolina, Bertram, Albi, etc type boat. Built for it.
