Do you think 3-5 foot waves are rough weather for a 24.5 foot boat?

If you slow down won't that risk the nose getting swamped . Also hitting on an angle can't that cause you to flip easier?

I go out into an open area in that thing as much as I can. Since I'm only 100 pounds and 15, light boat, light motor, I fly across the water. However in the open waters, it's almost always wavy, and my cottage is near a channel that is flooded with large yachts.
To yacht owners, when you see a small boat with a small driver, don't continue driving around with your stern dug into the water. Your waves are huge, especially when you're in a channel where the small boat has nowhere to run off to.
Have some common sense please.
