Unless your fishing the Great Lakes you'll be fine.

I agree...

I took my Sabre to Wheeler a few years back when there was rain and strong wind, the waves probably weren't but 2' swell at the most, but for down here that's big. The sabre handled them fine. Now I'm in a PIV and it's even better. Your dad is just jealous of your new CAT. lol

This was what I was thinking. All the kitty owners here in Louisiana love them and rough water is never a complaint. We don't get real bad waves unless at Toledo Bend and then it doesn't matter what you're in, 60 is too fast and will be very rough.

Also True, I didn't mention that in the Sabre (Especially being 18' long) I never went much over plane. I think 25-30mph was my top speed that day. And left the motor trimmed down so she'd run real flat and sit down in the water... But the waves were no problem.
