To zero in on the OPs question I think the Gulfstar boats will be considerably better in rough seas than the typical trawler and especially if equipped w paravanes.

A good rule of thumb is that if the hull out of the water looks more like an old fishing boat and less like wide planing hull it will probably be much better in the nasty.
