Compared to what?

How long is a bit of string? Rough seas cannot be put into little boxes and comparisons drawn. A force 4 wind over tide in shallow waters could be terrible yet you can have a superb ride with a force 8 following sea wind with tide. I'm afraid it is a question of suck it and see. Sorry if that isn't helpful.

No one round here is that stable so i would rely on the boat!

Hi susboxer. Can you give details of sunspeed19, not heard of it before. What engine? BTW, saw the name of boat, are you a Simpsons fan, if yes you are doubly welcome to this BB!

The idea is that the deep vee slices thru the water, so more stable ride than a flat-bottomed inland water boat, tho son't know the boat, and it won't be v stable if you stop, natch. Scuse if u know all this and are looking for detail detail owner-expertise. Good boat name. In a fifty footer upwind in a f5 I slowed down and a boat your size belted past at 25knots+ so probly fine! Doesn't feel like it when at rest tho, you have to gun it.

I have been across the channel in a sea ray 240. Very nice on the way as it was flat carm but on the way back...!!

it was maybe a F2 or F3...but with a big swell...it was veyr very painful and hurt my back for a few weeks..oh and it was at 20-25 kts only.
