Owners still type Seakeeper 9 because that is the gyro that showed up on 50-something convertibles. Seakeeper’s own FAQ puts the 9 at 1,200 lb on a Viking 52 — less than two percent of that hull. We do not invent an LOA envelope or an amp number the current model page no longer prints. Harbor Beach and Bahia Mar are the overlay. A Yellowfin 42 does not get a 9. If the yard is selling a Seakeeper 10 into the same length, that is a compare URL, not a silent swap on this hub. LMC still sits behind sixteen-foot downtown air draft.
