8 foot 
 
 
well sorry i was on the water, hook. and for a swell to come over the bow of this boat i think it would have to be a little higher than 3' . when the
boat behind you says your boat was disappearing in the swells, sorry this boat has a little more than 3' out of the water, but whatever, it was ugly
 
 
 
 
Want what you have

don't you measure a swell from the sea level?  
 
3 foot swell + 3 foot trough makes a 6 foot sea. or am I wrong?

Both Hook and I agree that the waves with swells were in the 5-6 foot range. Probably the occassional bigger.

Waves 
 
 
Were there any 14' tins out there? Not that I would be out in a 16'-18'. Unless I could talk one of salts into driving, to much of a rookie!

Acudoc and I lasted about 5 hours 
 
 
each day in a 16 foot Klamath. It's a center console. I cant imagine what it would be like in a stern steering boat. 
 
We were the smallest boat I saw out there.   
 
The most uncomfortable part of the days were returning to port with the wind and swells on our starboard hindquarter. I was constantly working the
trim to get the most out of the waves push. We were pretty wet, but never took a wave over the side, transom or bow, even simply sitting in the slop
and trying to catch fish.

starboard hindquarter?  Hook I think you have coined a new nautical term.
