Seakeeper Ride is Now Available for Larger Boats
The only complete underway stabilization system introduces two new products for boats up to ~42 feet.
FORT MYERS, FL. (September 4, 2024) – Seakeeper, Inc., the leader in marine motion control, announced the addition of two new systems to their underway stabilization product line, Seakeeper Ride. Designed for boats ~37-42 feet (11-13 meters), Seakeeper Ride 750 and Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad join their three existing systems in eliminating up to 70% of underway pitch and roll on boats as small as 19 feet.
While the two new systems are designed for the same sized vessels, the controller sizes and the transoms they serve differ. The Seakeeper Ride 750 system consists of two larger controllers and will fit most vessels in this size range, whereas the Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad system has four smaller controllers and is suitable for unique transoms that may have hull design elements that restrict available space. Both the Seakeeper Ride 750 and Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad systems were designed with aluminum components, a deviation from previous products for purposes of added strength.
“Since the launch of Seakeeper Ride two years ago, large boat owners have been asking for a larger Ride system,” said Seakeeper President and CEO Andrew Semprevivo. “With expert modifications to our existing design and extensive tests, we are ready to deliver the ‘wow’ boaters have come to expect from us with, not just one, but two products for this size range, to make sure every boater can experience complete underway stabilization.”
The Seakeeper Ride 750 system retails for $17,500 and the Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad system retails for $20,500. Shipments will begin in mid-October.
Seakeeper Ride offers systems for boats ~19-42 feet and is available for stepped or non-stepped, fiberglass or aluminum hulls with a cruising speed greater than 20 mph and equipped with a compatible MFD. Seakeeper Ride controllers mount to the boat’s transom below the waterline. Using proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software, the system takes 1,000 measurements per second to understand the boat’s behavior in all three axes. It then commands deployment of custom-designed rotary blades, making 100 adjustments per second, to create lift that automatically manages the vessel’s motions.
Seakeeper Ride is standard equipment on many popular boat models, including those from Sportsman, Scout, Chris-Craft, Jupiter, Tidewater, Edgewater, Key West, SeaHunter, Parker, and more.
