You're going to love it and what a generous gesture you did. Well done...
What sold me was the great loop story. Some dude installed these seats and took the record, previous record was 30-something days, he did it in 19. 19 days of 18 hour days, over 300 miles per day. And he was doing it because he had had cancer, saw kids fighting it, wanted to raise money for the kids. Seemed like a no brainer to contribute.

I am an old fart with a very bad back. To compensate I installed a shookwave S5 seat on my 336 Canyon and it makes a huge difference. It really works. After a long trip even on the smoothest day, you feel the difference. They aren't cheap but worth it. It made the difference of continuing enjoying the boat. If you can afford it and have the room to install it, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Fish, I looked at Shockwave and I don't have the space for the captain chair, I'd have to mount it backwards and they said that would not be great. I am looking at them for the passenger chair at the helm, I take people out, they might like that.

I'll report back when I have experience with the Seaspension. Then we'll look at the shockwave.
