Yeah - I learned the hard way as well that the 190 can handle 4ft chop at 5-10 knots, not 15-20. You talk about SLAM!!! I got caught in a noreaster/gale that snuck up on me this past September. I was only two miles out, but the weather changed almost instantly with no time to get back. The temp dropped 15 degrees and the wind went from 10 knots to 40 with white-out rain coming down sideways. Everything got soaked. The only way back was by retracing my tracks that morning per my Garmin GPS unit. Kinda the long-way home but couldn't risk hitting rocks, etc. Never again will I be so stupid. Just not worth it.
