Behind the Scenes at Seakeeper

[@typallotta756]

This video removed my skepticism. awesome seeing high quality products being made right here in the USA.

[@charlescurcio9712]

Does The Mystic52 use the The Seakeeper?

[@WILSON.1]

Does it work on sailboats?

[@I_have_no_Na.me.]

This is good business. Boats will always rock, even after 300 years

[@captainmarkgray8856]

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.

[@charlesv3962]

Fantastic product and service!

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Can these be made for 18-25 ft boats?

[@joeybeann]

yes

[@kevincarambot4749]

Just think of all the lunches that will be saved. I want one.

[@josiahstanley9291]

Can you brilliant fellows create one for off road trophy trucks? I have this feeling that video game like air control would be achievable with a seakeeper gyroscope mounted in the center of the truck. Man that would be a dream to see level and controlled car air/ hang time.

[@joeKisonue]

I would say just install one of these as is. Trophy trucks already handle the best there is for handling uneven terrain. I thought of this idea a few years back for use in a car. It would massively improve a Mustang in burnouts. A gyro would in no way increase air time other than the extra 370lb inertial influence at apogee.

[@joeKisonue]

If you installed one sideways you could definitely actively control pitch (nose up/down) expertly. I think it would have a very odd effect in the launch unless it didn't contribute until departure from ramp.

[@John-B69692]

Why would you want to make it lighter? It's the mass that makes it work.

[@Kevin75668]

Only the spinning mass provides reactionary force, the case is just dead weight.

[@chrisjones245]

do they make these for cruise ships?

[@cats400]

No. Modern cruise ships use stabilizing fins on the side of the hull to decrease wave action. The biggest model SeaKeeper makes is meant for around a 75 foot yacht and costs over $200,000.

[@chrisjones245]

@@cats400 can you multiply.. maybe four of them?

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@chrisjones245 the largest boat seakeeper says they have them is on 200 foot. yes multiple units can be used.

[@joeKisonue]

I think the options currently in use are probably the best. Really better for the low end of the mass scale because motions are greater in comparison to the size of the vessel. Think 4 foot swells on a 30ft boat and it's only 4 feet from rail to boot stipe. That's like 200 foot seas for a cruise vessel. The fins do the trip on monsters.

[@JAMES-sz5du]

Good job!

[@brianclark17]

Imagine if they installed these in all Ford Mustangs! No more people killed when the mustang launches to the right

[@MechanicsDIY]

hum.. i sea . camera stabilizer gyro next.

How muchos?

[@toomanyaccounts]

depends upon model. expect 5-10 % cost of the boat

[@joeKisonue]

@@toomanyaccounts no way. A 25 foot beach boat in Nicaragua named Dirty Sanchez would be far to inexpensive to follow that percent example

@@joeKisonue Seakeeper model 1 $15,900 (not including installation) For Boats ~ 23' - 30' Weight: 365 lbs (165 k) the boats these tend to go on cost 100k or more on average since they are mini yachts used for pleasure trips or fishing competitions. a number of fishing boat companies are putting them on their models as part of the base package.

[@josepeixoto3384]

@@Jose-js7ke the thing is much more complicated than it seems at first; it will fail ,and they know it,they have lots of parts ready to go, to fix them...for a price...

[@andrewparry1474]

@@josepeixoto3384 I think long and hard about planned obsolescence, and this is my big concern here. However, I don't make such claims based on theory/assumption, but rather known FACTS. If you have some kind of information that we can really sink our teeth into, then please fire away.

[@leusca1]

You right but every mechanical system will fail at a time, so why being afraid more for this one ? Boating is expensive that's a fact

[@joeKisonue]

Um grease moving parts, rinse clean before storing, and it will last longer than not. So the warranty is 2 years or 2000 hours. Let's say you run a seasonal charter off cape cod. Your gas costs alone could buy a few of these per year. I think it will be fine.

[@ramonlaraalcantara5910]

Better use gryro in boats no lit-moto.
