I can't comment on whether the software will cope with the amount and speed of the motion in rougher conditions as one was in a 55 footer and the other in a 70 footer. Assuming you are fitting outboards, you will need to be exceptionally mindful of retracting prior to quick application of throttle - they do have auto retract but it isn't instant and a small boats acceleration is generally a bit snappier than your typical gamefisher.
