Senchin, the 42 Open would handle better than a similar size sportfish due to lower center of gravity, but a planing hull boat is not designed to run at 8 or 9 knots. You can do it, but it's not optimal. I'm a little surprised you have friends making these types of passages in such boats. It's quite dangerous.
