I've only had one occasion were I took water all the way over the windshield of my 23' Tsunami, and I took several over the top. Caught in a thunderstorm offshore 'cuz I was literally napping with a fishing rod in my hand. I took absolutely no water into the cabin, but everyone out on the deck splashed!
Steep seas of 5'-6', with a very short 3-4 second wave period, driving SW into the storm to get to Boynton Inlet. Running at displacement speed of about 6-7 mph. 90% of the water was deflected off to the sides, but a couple of bucketfuls came over the top several times. Each time, the nose seemed to bury itself at least 8"-10" below the crest of the wave. The boat tracked true, without being pushed off to either side, and I had no problem with handling. Truly a great boat.
