Re: Heading into a rough chop
It's not something you can really describe, you just have to "feel it" when everything (engine trim, tabs, throttle) is dialed in for the best comfort and performance combo. There are no absolutes, but next time, try trimming the outdrive all the way down and bring it up a little bit to lift the boat. Then use the tabs to push the bow down and try skimming the wave tops. This takes advantage of the sharp entry of the hull.
It might be counterintuitive, but sometimes going slow beats you up because you go up and down with the maximum amplitude. In certain situations, going faster might make the hull thump faster against the waves, but not as hard as riding all the way up and falling back down hard.
