- Lenny Rudow stopped at the @riversidemarine5859 display at the 2023 Chesapeake Bay Boat Show to take a closer look at this Sportsman Open 212 Center Console equipped with the Seakeeper Ride. This Vessel Attitude Control System is designed to eliminate 70% of pitch and roll while a boat is underway and is now a standard feature on select Sportsman Boat models.

Very cool I’m gonna keep looking into this thanks
nice,,, wonder what happens when you trim the motor up ? does it keep trying to push the bow down or does it stop at a set bow up angle or at a set speed like zipwake ?
Nice video Lenny!!
Thanks & glad you enjoyed it!!
My zipwake trim tabs do the same thing.
The Zipwakes system - which we found quite effective - was the first dynamic trim system we're aware of. However, it uses interceptors rather than the rotary blades, and can't make adjustments as quickly. (Zipwakes doesn't disclose the exact number of data points and adjustments made per second). When we tested Zipwakes (on two different boats) we found an average roll reduction of about 31 percent
@@FishTalkMagazine This is interesting-- based on your testing you would say the Seakeeper Ride is significantly more effective at roll reduction? What about pitching and yaw? Would you say the Seakeeper ultimately produces a smoother ride than zip wakes, in general?
Asking bc I am debating which system to install on my new Stabicraft 2050 Supercab, 20.5 ft smaller, aluminum hull boat.
Appreciate any thoughts on the comparison
@@andywocky Hey Andy - Pitch, roll, and yaw are all greatly affected, BUT to what degree each is does differ by boat. It's terrifically interesting - some hulls see a more significant difference RE roll, while others see it in pitch/yaw. The range seems to be somewhere between 40 an 70 percent generally speaking, but different boats do see very different reaults. And, I'm not sure what type of testing they've done on a small aluminum hull like that. If I were you I'd go to the ride.seakeeper.com website and study some of the case-studies they've done (click on "Performance" then click on the specific boat for the full results in graph form. I know it's manufacturer data and not third-party, but in my experience the Seakeeper folks are reliable and honest, and I've dealt with them several times through the years RE testing their products). I don't think they have much on that type of boat but you can at least look for the closest case-study. Hope that helps!!
No it doesn't.
So these expensive trim systems make a bad hull design better. Got it don't get a sportsman.
Sportsman is simply one of the three builders (also Chris-Craft and Scout) initially partnering with Seakeeper. Since then Jupiter and Dynamic have been added to the list. All boats - bar none - experience pitch and roll and this system has been tested on boats built by at least five additional manufacturers; in all cases improvements were documented. We've spent time on that 21 and it's a great little boat. But don't take our word for it - take one for a ride and draw your own conclusions!
