Just looking for everybodies experience, as I am still not super happy running in 3-4' Chop.
I think I have not figured out how to completely run in rough water, as I always seem to get beat up....guess I am looking to validate what everybody else experiences in 3-4' waves.
I have to make a long run, about 40 miles across open water...and if it were you, what speed would you expect to be able to maintain without beating the heck out of the boat and yourself.
I know wave direction matters, so I am looking for both thoughts, meaning heading into the waves as well waves off your beam, say coming across your stbd side.
It is not the fear of doing so, but just the nature of not having so much fun....
Thanks for your input!
