The 6ft seas with fast 30ft boat for 40 miles offshore kinda made me chuckle.

Jet skis 40 miles offshore, what's to see out in the middle of the ocean on a jet ski? Marlin?
On topic, I'd be concerned about the two little pointy bits up front staying above the 6' waves at troll speeds. They're designed to run on top of the water a lot faster than fishing speed. A big V-hull has a nice flare to cut through the waves and float on top, the high speed cats are much lower to the water at sub planing speeds. That's why fishing cats are such big high things up front. I reckon you might take some water over the bow.
