3-5's with serious slop and closer together than about 8 seconds will beat you to death in almost anything,
Been in 3-5's with the 25ft GW we had and it rode great. But I adjust my speed to the conditions. If boat is catching air then you're running too fast for the conditions.

Trim you motor down dude. Use the boat to break the waves. Keep your eyes ahead of the boat, avoid cresting waves. And slow down.
And you're probably over exaggerating the seas as well. 10kts =/= 5' seas.
Eta: your experience in rough seas is only as good as the guy driving the boat.
Mangrove dude, you should be able to see them if they are there
