I fish the sound out of a 12' SemiV with a 9.9. I assume that yours is far more powerful.

Yep, I watch the weather, never more than 2 in my boat on the sound. On good days, I can fish Possession Point from Mukilteo, or McNeil Island from Purdy.

On bad days, I stay in much closer, or don't go out.

You will find that there are many of us on the sound in small boats, and the further you are from Seattle, the smaller the boat on average.
