The skiff will beat your brains out in any kind of chop. If I were to do it over again on a shallow water boat I'd do a mako 19 or old aquasport 19-6.

Default 19 Mako

We had a 19 Mako. Not a good boat in a 2ft+ chop in the bay with two people onboard 20-25mph tops. Very wet boat. The transom was very low and wide. If you don't pay attention you swamp the boat in seconds.
