I wonder if they would work on a 21' boat.
Also, I have a pair of transducers coming of the starboard and port chines. Would these interfere with that?

My boat is a "small" 23, so if I had to guess, yes. I have a thru hull transducer so no issue. You would have to inquire.

Couple of my friends were amazed when we did the "on /off " test and they were impressed. Really notice when I am underway and passengers decide to all end up on one side. You feel it start to lean and it quickly stops and settles back to stable. I ran to just a bit east of Shinnecock and returned to Moriches around noon on Saturday as it started to build MUCH earlier than predicted, both wind and wave height, but was able to keep comfortable and at speed (27MPH) as the Seekeeper kept my boat on track through some mixed up water.

I have heard lots of good things about this system. What I have not heard is will this device also work on straight inboards? All the installations I see are on outboard powered hulls.

I am curious how much the system would run.
My 24 ft CC doesn't have trim tabs and when the crew shifts around, it becomes an issue. I'm sure the Seakeeper would work wonders, but is it comparable to electric or hydraulic tabs price wise?

Thanks for posting. I had no clue they were used on smaller boats. I think we can all agree that somehow we all end up on the same side of the boat at one time or another.

Yes, they can be installed on inboards. You need some space, and the electrical power requirements can be somewhat substantial. They are not inexpensive either.

They came standard on my boat, so I am not sure of the price, or the price to retrofit. Reach out to these guys and find out. I had some dealings with them and they were very helpful.

For vessels 23’ - 30’ total retrofit installation would run approximately $31,000

New boat manufacturers are increasingly including, primarily as an option, Seakeeper.

Here is a a guide to approximate costs relative to vessel size.

For a 24’ boat to add trim tabs is probably in the neighborhood of $2,500
To add Seakeeper to a 24’ vessel averages in the neighborhood of $31,000

Two different product that do two different functions.
