hey guys I have a 14ft f/g with a 650merc on it, and I had it out on the ocean today for the first time and it was great going out but on the way back there was some serious chop, I estimated some of the waves to be around 4 1/2 feet and they were really close together, anyways numerous times the boat would go up and then down and the next wave would spash all over the bow and then over the windshield and soak us, and a fair ammount of water got into the boat, I have been in waves this big a few times but this time they were so close together and that made it very hard to navigate, I slowed down to almost an idle, Iam just wondering how you navigate this type of water in a smaller boat, eg faster slower, attack from a certain angle etc I don't think there is anyway I could have done this on plane as I would have barreled right into a rather large wave numerous times....any help would be greatly appreciated as it was a little scary at first....
