Here on the east coast of Florida if we have 6 or 7 foot seas it's blowing 20-25 knots and there is a small craft advisory posted. I have been in some long swells generated by a hurricane say 1,000 miles away but typically here once you get above 3-4 feet there is often wind and thus wind driven chop. The sea state you describe is rare here. I also think the Seafarer can handle nasty stuff in terms of safety and such but fishing in nasty stuff just becomes difficult. I love to fish and catch mahi but I don't love it enough to go out in seas bigger than 5 feet here because it's often with wind . To each his own. I had a dual console , Grady 192 and fished it offshore in seas 2-3 or less. You can fish those boats quite well in my opinion especially for trolling .
