============

Probably works but not for everyone. *There are different types of
stabilization systems. *We have Naiad hydraulically actuated fins on
our trawler and they work very well:

The drawback is that the boat has to be moving at least 6 to 7 knots
for the system to become effective. *

The type with a massive gyroscope works at slow speeds and at anchor
but the gyro takes up a lot of space, consumes quite a bit of power,
and the vessel structure has to be designed around the loads produced
by the gyro, which are considerable. *You can't just drop one in to an
existing boat.


I belive you're right, Wayne. Seeing the craft isn't made for it, it
would need quite a bit of re-structure work. And yeah, what's their
idea of 'very little power'? probably different than mine.
