Re: Panga 25 Nose Dive
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.
Re: Panga 25 Nose Dive
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.

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

Re: Panga 25 Nose Dive
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!

Re: Panga 25 Nose Dive
PR-off topic question about the hardtop
Is it supported on the back or all a single structure?

Re: Panga 25 Nose Dive
That rumbling you hear is a stampede of builders rushing to work on their boats after seeing that photo. Damn!
