This was great. I was wondering how the seakeeper would fit into such a smallish cabin cruiser. The antares 11 is a consideration, as well as a saxdor 320gtc. The seakpr does take considerable room, and fore planning.

We’ve now had two round-trip cruises on 2-4’ seas; the SK is invaluable if your passengers value a feeling of safety. The storage tradeoff is worth it to us.

The Saxdor has a different “mission” IMO.

How much was the total install job

[@prettyswelladventures]

I want to be somewhat guarded in how I answer that for a variety of reasons. The Seakeeper 3 - necessary for a Fly - is in the $30-40k range (the 2 is $10k less and sufficient for a non-Fly); your installation cost will vary a lot based on location in the US, but will be in the same range +/- $10k I suspect.
