Sea Eagle has both ABT active stabilizers and Paravanes. We use the active stabilizers far more often than the paravanes (push of a button vs finding someplace calm to deploy/recover the fish).

Because the boat doesn't have a mast (fiberglass stack instead), the stack had to be reinforced and the fish are smaller than is usual to keep the strain on the stack down. Still, even with the small fish, it is no fun recovering them in lumpy weather or dealing with dangling crab pots.
