I'm considering buying a Skipjack 26. I like the idea of driving from
a flying bridge but am concerned any added motion while underway
offshore.

Is there a greater likelyhood of getting motion sickness on a flying
bridge vs an express boat because you're higher off the deck?

Yes, because of the extra motion. But on the other hand, many people,
including me, find that they are equally affected by fumes, especially
diesel. On the bridge, you're less likely to have a problem with fumes,
unless you're moving slowly and the wind's coming from an unlucky direction.
Bottom line: When I was a kid and my dad took us into water that turned
ugly, I rarely got sick on the bridge. But, if I went below to get a snack,
I usually didn't want it by the time I obtained it. :-)
