Awesome if rocking bothers you. I like a little rocking to sleep better because my bones ache (sleeping beam to beam when rocking hard vs bow to stern when rocking gently :-) This is great for any powerboat as they seem to rock very hard, pounding a lot. The large keel on a sailboat softens the rock a lot.
Ok ok I get the gyro, but can someone please explain why and how the outboards go in opposite directions at 1.07? That is something new for me, never seen or heard of that before on a trailer craft, only on large vessels with Volvo drives.
There's new systems that allow GPS fed position holding features. Meaning you set a path or hold position and the motors move automatically to hold a path or single position, regardless of wind, current or swell.
An awesome invention but 29900 that shit is steep as fuck, may be justified in the material but i cant see it justified in how it works, id rather rock and roll..
Don't know why I don't see this comment what runs this gyro are you draining your battery or you have to have additional 4 batteries idle your Motors how does it work
maybe if i were flying an airplane but given modern computing power almost any sea state can be simulated now...plus auto trim plus fly by wire and all that's left is power to weight ratio and you can take a 13 foot boston whaler through this junk now.
Now when your boat sinks you can lose twice the money!!! Oh and the added weight makes it sink faster!!! On the upside boat designers can really just throw all the rules out and go full numpty drawing up hull designs like a three year old.
lol loved the sharkcat comment very true but that gyro switched on was something special great thing for mono hull guys
That's an expensive grinder. Super cool though, nice work. ;)

This looks completely awesome. I’m a bit of a useless bastard when it comes to getting sea sick. Maybe one day.
If they ever make the price affordable everyone will have one. I’ll just have to keep going the way I’m going. I’m not rich!
These things work great but $30,000 plus install?
For double that price you can made your trailer boat into a SeaLegs boat too, so why not upgrade to both?
Are you sure $40000 will buy a lot of seasick pills.
That would be great on a Axopar 28 mounted behind the cabin.

i thought the same exact thing!
They spent the money to do it

Would this work on a boat.it would be interesting to find out
holy cows..what an awsesome invention
Opens the way for much greater deadrise being incorporated into Vee hulls, why not have 27+ degrees?
Break it down.
awesome tech
All it needs now is a helipad. Must weigh a ton.

Who is the seakeeper dealer in Australia?

Fuck yes
30k buy alot of seasick tablets. Still very cool. 8k is more realistic. I can prob find one on Ali express.
China needs to knock this off asap. This shouldn't cost a dollar more than $12k
only a matter of time this the china man reverse engineers it
Don't know why I don't see this comment what runs this gyro are you draining your battery or you have to have additional 4 batteries idle your Motors how does it work
Roland Kovalenoks On board generator.
It's actually 24VDC, that boat in particular can run the gyro for approx. 6 hours off the batteries. Larger models are powered off the generator
Someone need to make one for lifted truck
Its great , but yes it is to expensive . $29900 plus gst , plus installation at 16 hours .
Wont take long for the chinese to jump on it... wont be 40k for long
Every boat large enough should have this
10k is a reasonable price
Make it more affordable, and sky is the limit for this co

30k! common let’s be serious who is paying that amount of money? 10-15k is reasonable
I'll stick to my sharkcat
Nothing new about gyroscopes, just it’s installation in a trailer boat. Bloody expensive!
30K ?? Narr not for me thanks.

$29000 plus installation? WOW . Great product but a bit pricy guys.
Just stay home if you need that haha
I'll build one. Not really that hard. I'm looking at about $7000. First one will take 10x longer than the second.
