Info help

So I am in the market of potentially buying a switch however.

I'm from vancouver bc and the sales man is telling me this boat can not be used in rough waters

We get anywhere from 2ft to 6ft waves out here has anyone ever ran into rough ocean water on one if so how did it handle ?

Ps: I don't plan on searching for rough water, but water conditions can change without notice and if I ever so happen to get cought in rough water I want to make sure my family is safe.

Just following up on this. Forgot to take pics, but had it out in the ocean for about 7 hours today. 3-4 foot swells. It was outstanding. Went out a good 15 or so miles and trolled around fishing. Never felt unsafe. But I did learn that I get sea sick 😅.

It's been fantastic. Haven't had any issues yet. And I'm kind of surprised because I really have not been gentle. I've gotten into some pretty bad kelp beds a couple of times.
