you might want to look at some of the Ocean Express Cats they are Great in the Big rough water Not super fast but will give you a good ride. There was a 31 set up for outboards in there shop and they also built a 28 but the 31 would be a much better ride you might want to check with Ross over there maybe he can point you in the right direction www.oceanexpress.com 810 794 5551

Bigger Vee hulls are tough because I can't service custom engines or blue motors over here so the 496HO is the limit. I would much prefer outboards if possible, Spectre 30 looked interesting, appears to offer a bit more size than most but still sounds too small after reading here.

Might have to consider something bigger. My old Fountain CC handled the chop well but I get bored and change boats a bit easily. Don't want to go back to another CC, not sure, ummmmm!

Thanks again,
RR
The 30 Spectre is a good option i heard they ride great and run high 90s to low 100 with 600hp outboards
