BACK STORY I’m considering adding a Seakeeper Ride 450 system to my Montauk 190. I’m curious about how well an automatic system like this performs, especially on a boat of this size.
Everything I'm reading [says the SEAKEEPER RIDE 450 system] drastically improves the ride of the boats it is installed on. [The improvement is] so [great] that Scout and other manufacturers are making it standard equipment. The 450 system is for boats that are 19-feet or longer.
