Just wondering
So you're out on your boat in 5 foot seas. Why would you want to shut off your engine?

More important than the height is the distance between the tops . In open sea five feet ain't much if a mile apart , or even fifteen or twenty if far apart .
Very true. Noticed wace changes locally with tide shifts. 1-2 knots a current against the wind makes for close together, talker waves than when going the same way.
Short steep harms more boats than longer ones.
Also, length of wave top to wave top. If that same as loa of boat, also bad.....
