Fishing and Ocean

I am planning on buying a Hurricane 188 SS I live in Jupiter, FL and I was wondering if anyone has taken their hurricane boats to the open ocean waters and do some fishing and also how did it handle in 1 to 2 feet waves? I will mosly use the boat for intercostal crusing but sometimes I would like to go out and check out the ocean

There's a pretty good thread in this forum on this ocean worthiness of the exact model you are interested in. The SS188 has a 13 degree deadrise hull configuration which would be considered a fairly "flat" hull.

Yea, been skeptical of taking mine out into the ocean even though I want too so bad and I have the 06 GS 202

Took my 217 offshore 10 miles yesterday, nice offshore wind knocked the chop down and seas were about 2', it actually shocked me well it did. I will do more now that I know how it handles but the weather will have to be right for sure.
