My best friend takes his Hondo out on Tahoe successfully but avoids the afternoon wind. It's my experience that not all flatties are created equal. Some are better than others at the task of rough water navigating.

    All of my rough water navigating has been in Hondo's and Sangers.

    That being said, I like a 3 inch splash guard, 1 bilge pump, an onboard super soaker (cylinder type), a solid battery and a well tuned engine. I would also recommend a distributor cover. After that, you need common sense and need to be paying attention. In big waves you can't just sit floating mindlessly like you can in a big boat.

    That's my recipe for success and I don't drink so that doesn't hurt.

    I can't help you with the Catalina flats, but surely GN-7 can.
    I just prefer a bigger, better riding, more comfortable boat.

    Did anyone see that toon that had the step up in the back? The driver and co pilot seats where like 10' off the water. That thing was huge! Saw it cruise through the channel Friday afternoon.
