My friend has a sea keeper on his 60' Sea Ray Yacht. I can attest to everything you just said and demonstrated about the side to side roll. We were in the Atlantic, in 3-4 ft rollers, like you, and the boat never rolled more than 2-4 degrees from side to side, and we were doing 20 knots. I noted from sitting on the bow of his boat, that the top rail of the boat barely moved, from side to side, with the horizon. Very smooth ride, and yes, there was still some bounce from the hull, but as you demonstrated when you turned the seakeepr off, the roll increased dramatically. I was on the boat for a week, and it was the most comfortable, stable ride on a boat that I have ever been on.

$25K does sound like a lot but if your favorite hobby is being on the water and fishing most of your free time than I guess its worth it. It certainly seems to perform very well and I have seen many new sportfish yachts now offer these units as an option or even as standard equipment.

I have the same boat and I am considering installing it. I have a couple of questions hopefully you can answer for me. I am concerned with the extra weight. How does it affect the gas mileage on the Steiger 28? Also you mentioned it changed the ride, do you think the boat rode better after? It would seem it would balance the boat out a bit. Would you install it again? Also they are telling me that I may need a seakeeper 2 but that maybe overkill. Thanks for the video and time answering my questions.

what gonna happen if small seakeaper will be installed into a big boat? Will it reduce roll or won't be working at all? I mean the Seakeper 18 for 70' boat requires up to 3.7 kilowatts which makes impossible to use solar energy for it. It's too much! What if i installed Seakeeper 6 to the 70' boat? Will it work to some degree?

also if you had your engines spaced farther apart that would distribute weight better on the boat and help the roll as well

Funny this video just showed up on my feed. 395 Everglades with SeaKeeper. 2 months old. Just got “valve 2” fault 2 days ago. Powered entire system down at the dock, went back out yesterday, same problem. Guess it’s going back to dealer already. Night and day difference with it being on and off. I was able to tell there was something wrong when we were running out in 3-4 footers and was surprisingly smooth, then it started getting bouncy. Looked at screen and noticed the fault.
