Seakeeper Ride Automatically Adjust Trim Tabs
 
Pretty cool technology looks like it's been out for years. Surprised there isn't a version for offshore performance boats.

All their products are amazing, JMO. Once you've ridden on a few that have the tabs or gyro you won't go back. I am speaking of fishing/sport fishing boats though but amazing product. You pay for what you get, take out a second loan, it's worth it! lol.

I thought about putting those on the jet boat , for smaller boats they work really well.

that they ran sea keeper and that’s why the boat was always running so level and ahead of everyone else. 😂

then there’s the race gas one.

While I’d be surprised if they were running a gyro is there any sort of the rulebook that outlaws them? Last I recall there was nothing banning them.

That said I can see how it would make a pretty substantial difference if the extra weight didn’t push the boat too far over the minimum. It would help a lot for roll control in rough water. Pitch control wouldn’t be possible with a standard seakeeper gyro and even if a custom gyro was built or a second one was used just for pitch it wouldn’t be nearly as effective because the boat’s moment of inertia is far larger in pitch than roll. Would be cool to see someone try it for roll at least.

The tabs are another story and I can see how those would be a big advantage with the right setup
