Just want to say nothing is wrong, just absolutely love the sea legs! Best thing we could have added to the boat. We are currently in on the inland waterway in northern mi.

I love it... don't mean to show my ignorance on the subject, but how deep can you go with those sea legs? I'm guessing they were pretty pricey as well....

The tri toon sea legs consist of 4 independent legs and hydraulic cylinders. This allows the boat to be completely leveled in up to 5' of water. The 2 log version of sea legs will lift the boat but the legs are connected so there is no side to side leveling capability.

When we got a new boat the sea legs were a requirement for my wife. She gets sea sick spending all day at the sand bar or even with the bow just pulled up to shore. I even use them at the boat ramp while I grab the truck.

Friday we head north from Indian River across mullet lake and into the cheboygan river. Once through the locks we were at the Michigan/Huron level and headed out into the straits of Mackinac just far enough to get a picture of the bridge. The wind was 15-20 mph so it was crazy rough!!!

We were bummed to find out the ice breaker was not in port. Would have been cool to drive past in on our boat! There were a bunch of tugs and other neat things to see.

Interesting idea. Does it auto level or do you have to adjust each of the legs manually?

I guess they make sense in your wife's case if she is that sensitive to getting sea sick, but other than that It seems like they'd be more trouble than just throwing an anchor. But still a cool idea!

They are remote control with a wireless controller , there are back up manual switched at the pump , or just your phone with their app.

Checked the price out....maybe if they were articulating so I could walk the boat out of the water and up to the boat yard....could sell the trailer to offset some of the cost. Would be cool to tube behind a Transformer.

You can have a party on the boat while it's out of the water. Had 3 boat loads on and off mine all last weekend. At some point everyone spent time on my boat eating or just taking a break.

In July while on vacation in West Michigan I had the boat ride out a storm with 45 mph winds. All the other boats at the dock were getting tossed and turned. Ours didn't budge.

I saw them once at a boat show. Pretty cool for beach hopping. I buoy my tritoon in 4 ft of water, I suppose this would replace my buoy. :)

Yup great at the beach or sand bar or dock !!! I've pretty much forgotten what dock lines, augers, fenders, and anchors are. Just push the button and smile!!!
