Default Rough weather boating

No problem. Planing? probably not, unless you enjoy seeing
your crew backflip over the transom. I go out in worse in my
25' MaXum all the time in the fall. Best to run at
displacement speed, no tabs, and watch out for broaching in
a following sea. If you're not in a hurry, it can be loads
of fun. Leave the lubbers on the dock.

Does anyone have any advice for facing 3+ foot waves in a 24-foot (Sea
Ray 240 SRV -- planing -- ~5000 lb displacement) boat?

How do I know the difference between the jitters and being stupid?

(We want to go across Lake Michigan to Chicago this weekend, and the
weather might be rough.)
