And as a note, we don't have a full displacement boat. They work equally well on other hull types. And the fear some have over loss of speed isn't really one necessary with a proper installation. The data shows typical loss is around 0.1 knots, or so minimum as to not be noticeable. Now in terms of what it does to practical operating speed, you are able to go faster simply because of the stabilization. Yes 0.1 knot off at given rpm, but we cruised today at 22 knots and never would have been as comfortable doing that without stabilization.
