Other than hull or hardware modifications, be sure you are trimmed bow up. Your pictures look like you may be a tad bow heavy anyway. Just be sure in a following sea that you are trimmed up, keep the bow as high as you can.

My wife has spent considerable time operating small boats in large waves and has developed some interesting techniques. Not sure if they will be applicable for you but thought I'd share just in case. ;)

This clip is from the Skookumchuck Narrows in BC:

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

I clicked on that expecting some type of 'my wife sunk the boat' video. Glad to be wrong. Really impressive skills on display there.

Thanks OneWayTraffic, terrulian and VT_Jeff! I'll certainly keep the nose up and watch those swells. No swells this day, but lots of fish!

PR-off topic question about the hardtop

Is it supported on the back or all a single structure?

That rumbling you hear is a stampede of builders rushing to work on their boats after seeing that photo. Damn!
