Testing SEAKEEPER gyroscopic boat stabilization ANY GOOD???

- Watch as we learn a bit about the Seakeeper system in this brand new Veitch 23 centre console. We then get a nice rock and roll happening in the boat before turning the system on to see what happens.
The results were surprising to say the least!

That’s what I said on your other video, take your inboard out for a outboard and replace the inboard area with a Seakeeper 😁👍
Hahaha yeah might when it blows up one day, of it does
Veitch make gorgeous boats.
Amazing product, would be good to learn a bit about how it works and a price estimate. It must run the battery a bit, game changer for deep v. Thanks a lot!
Hey yeah lovely boat for sure. Didn't discuss power requirements in detail etc, was a rather quick stop. But cert works amazing
I am buying a Sea Keeper. I am sure it will change our lives
Not sure if the humming I heard during the video is the same gentle humming you mentioned because I noticed that even when the unit was switched off to create the rocking of the boat I could still hear the humming. I am sure when underway you would not hear the humming noise emitted from the unit over everything else but when stationary & fishing I think that noise would become annoying, then again a rocking boat when fishing is also annoying. I would love to experience this firsthand to assess. I am interested to know if you think the humming noise is too much or would the plusses outweigh the negatives.
Well I'm just assuming that hum was it. The effect of the product was literally crazy. It's a bloody unstable boat without it! Quite literally amazing once it's turned on, I have always been very skeptical
@@BaitBallin What did you think about that humming noise could you get used to it or do you think in your opinion you couldn't have that noise in my ears all day on the water.
I guess on the ocean, a few sounds, engine, music etc I'd say you would just get used to it. It definitely wasn't excessive or anything
@@BaitBallin Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, by the way, I love watching as the Caribean is unfolding
No worries man!
Amzing equipment for personal has Sea sick. And How about power supply to your system ?
Hey man not my gear. Was a local test only. But can absolutely confirm they are the real deal
Seakeeper's are amazing, wish I had one on my boat but can't justify dropping 20k+. Seakeepers have high power requirements and a short life warranty (IMHO).
I asked about the life span and they said some have run for 15000 hours plus
Good summary of the product. Definately a game changer for deep vee vessels. I think comparing to trim tabs is a bit of a miss comparison as they are a totally different product as mentioned by the sea keeper rep. I think the price point would be miles apart also. Would love a seakeeper in one of our builds one day. Also would have made the video a bit better seeing the vessel under way. Great info none the less. Thanks.
Hey yeah I was meaning comparing it underway to auto trim systems. This would work substantially better, but it is like 10 times price
That humming noise in the vid is quite loud, is that the sea keeper or from another source?
Tbh I'm not totally sure, I wasn't paying enough attention. Had more friggin boat sagas (my own boat), had me pre occupied
I do think it was the seakeeper tho
Tom, How are u? Wow seakeeper now?
@@BaitBallin sorry missed understanding. Msg was referring to Tom in vid. I use to work with him at Port Phillip boating centre. Than at haines hunter. Than saw him 10yrs later working with Sav Winches. Now 4yrs later his at "sea keeper"
Price? Noise level?
Price no idea! I have no affiliation with them. Noise, there was a constant gentle humming while it was on.
@@BaitBallin About $24k retail for the Seakeeper 1 unit. Budget around $30k installed.
DOES it make noise ?
There was a low gentle noise yes
The simplest solution is often the correct one. In this case I would just buy a Cat. I love deep V's too, but added complexity/cost/weight and loss of space is the antithesis of a good solution. There is no point in designing a boat in todays era that needs 'correcting' with expensive gadgets, when you have already forked out 100's of thousands to begin with. Buy the boat that is fit for purpose to start with.
Yep cost is the biggest barrier for these things.... unfortunately.
As cool as the gyro is , to slap one in a trailer boat is seems ridiculous and a little 'try hard. Costs extra $30k and 200kg(generally big trailer boats have vehicle GCM towing issues to consider) and takes up internal space, If stability is important why not simply buy a catamaran? gives same stability as rest as mono with seakeeper. Plus you have $30k cash left over to buy bigger motors or more fishing gear.
Well yeah I mean I definitely see them being way more popular in bigger boat situations for sure. Im not sure they will take off in the 23ft size range, but bigger boats perhaps they will
And massively expensive. It costs more than your Carribean. Save $ and get a better trailer.
Well it's not necessarily for me, but an interesting product none the less
@@BaitBallin I say take up golf, if the Ocean bothers you. Watched another video of a big Ghetto Cruiser (50 seats and cup holders with 4-450 Yamahas) the addition of the Seakeeper as the boat was built was over $65k in now worthless US dollars! WHOA!
Yeah they are costly no doubt. Hopefully over time the price comes down.
Only if you can afford it..
Yeah true 😂 I was simply browsing here hahaha
