We run mostly in Galveston Bay and once in awhile out in gulf here or in Florida. The roughest water is when we go to Lake Travis. Lots of cruiser wakes bouncing off the vertical walls. Our 42 handles it all with no problems. My wife now loves to go fast. We had a 32 Sunsation and it just beat us to death. We considered getting out of HP boats until the 42. Don't use my experience with drives as the standard. There is more to my story of where the boat came from than the actual hours show. Get a survey before you buy anything. Make sure they check serial numbers to match drives and engines and check the ecm for hours and usage.Don't trust anyone.

The other thing that didn't match was the serial #'s of the drives to the engines that were supposed to be sold together in a new boat. Always get a complete survey. Plus the engine serial #'s did not match the originals that were installed at the factory.
