Seakeeper’s gyroscope technology is now available on Boston Whaler 350 Outrage and 420 Outrage boats. See:

Here is the direct link to the demonstration recording, which is darn impressive. If you spent a lot of time angling in beam seas, you'd love the SEAKEEPER gyroscope option. I wonder how much it costs.

Here is a plot of the boat roll motion with and without SEAKEEPER gyro-stabilizer:

Thanks for cleaning this up Jim. I was in a rush but wanted to get this info out to the group.

As a non factory installed option, $31,000 for the gizmo, and installation additional.

On boats that already cost $500,000, an extra $50,000 for the gyro and its installation are not that much. Having one will probably be de rigueur if you want bragging rights at the yacht club bar.

For serious and wealthy offshore anglers the gyro can make the difference between going fishing or staying at home in marginal weather. As mentioned a device which makes it reasonable to use a $500,000 boat in less than reasonable conditions for $50,000 or less may be an excellent value, especially when amortized over several years.
