Seakeeper Launches New Gyro Demo Boat
To let customers experience firsthand the difference Seakeeper gyro stabilization systems make in vessel performance and crew safety, the company has launched its new demo boat. The custom 345 Express from OBX Boatworks will be available for test rides at the Multi-Agency Craft Conference, June 10-12. A hand-crafted, customizable fishing and cruising vessel, the 345 Express features the new Seakeeper 5 gyro. "Our boats are very stable to start with, so the addition of the gyro gives the 345 a rock solid platform," said OBX owner Brad Flater.
