Seakeeper Ride Designed In - Sportsman's "Behind The Glass" (Season 3 - Episode 5)

In episode five of Behind The Glass, we return to the Sportsman Boats plant to showcase the innovative Seakeeper Ride System—a groundbreaking technology designed to enhance every boating experience.

Join us as we take a behind-the-scenes look at how this state-of-the-art system, launched in July 2022, reduces pitch and roll by up to 70% while underway, providing boaters with unprecedented control, comfort, and safety. Seakeeper Ride has now become a standard feature across the entire Sportsman lineup for model year 2025, marking a new era in marine technology.

Throughout the episode, we’ll walk you through the intricate installation process. From the initial cut-and-grind phase—where technicians prepare the transom for the system’s perfect fit—to the fine-tuning of actuator plates and electrical integration, every step is executed with precision. You’ll also see how professional captains fine-tune the Ride System’s trim curve, optimizing performance for improved speed, holeshot, and fuel efficiency.

With Seakeeper Ride only functioning while the boat is underway, it eliminates the need for constant trim tab adjustments—making every ride easier and more enjoyable.

This episode highlights the challenges our design and tooling teams overcame to integrate Seakeeper Ride across every Sportsman model, ensuring seamless operation and top performance on the water.
