Maximum wave height for boat?

Question

What is the maximum wave height you would go out in an 18 foot center console with 3 guys and gear.

Answer 1

I have a 22' cc, ihave been out in 4 to 5' swells, make sure you wear your pfd's and have a working radio. you should be fine, check the weather first and fish on

Answer 2

Six foot rolling would be pushing the envelope.

4' with a period of 10 secs or so would be acceptable. but I would still wear a PFD.
