SEASPENSION TO EXHIBIT AT MACC June 16-18, 2009
What is the MACC?
The Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) provides a forum for open exchange and discussion about boats and craft between Government agencies and the maritime community.
The primary focus is the dialog between the DoD and other Government agencies on common issues unique to boats and craft in their service. The types of craft discussed range from Army & Navy service craft, Navy and Coast Guard patrol boats, to Naval Special Warfare and Marine Corps combatant craft. Craft types include RIB's, patrol and insertion craft, landing craft, utility craft and special purpose craft.
The conference serves as a way to capitalize on the joint nature of today's military environment. No service can afford to re-learn lessons that another service has already solved, whether it pertains to operations and tactics, an equipment solution, maintenance practices, or evaluating and implementing new technology. Each organization has a valuable corporate background that can greatly assist other activities. The conference leverages larger returns from the combined efforts of the relatively small boat communities in each service. Within each service, boats and craft remain low on the funding priority list and the conference helps prevent different agencies from expending funds solving a common problem.
Industry participants are a vital part of the MACC. Industry participants are not treated simply as exhibitors, but rather as attendees and their participation in the discussions is encouraged.

The dual bolsters came equipped with Seaspension’s Shock-Gard Technology (SGT ™) package and built-in intercom systems. The Seaspension SGT ™ seating system allows Coast Guard personnel to operate their boats in rigorous conditions such as those experienced during the first delivery sea-trial with six-to-eight foot waves, wind speeds of twenty knots and boat speeds of up to 50 knots. During the trial the crew remained comfortably seated, safe, alert, and focused on their mission. Seaspension Technologies met all delivery requirements on time for the 28 custom dual bolsters in collaboration with Premier Performance Interiors (PPI) of Sarasota, Florida. The order was taken with an accelerated delivery schedule to meet the deadline requirements for this conference which will be attended by many of the world’s leaders including President Obama.

LARGO, Fla. Oct 1, 2007 — Seaspension Technologies, Inc. – the leading producer of shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals – has teamed with mechanical engineering firm McCormick Stevenson of Dunedin, Fl. to more effectively tackle the military markets for shock-mitigation.
The teaming arrangement was solidified last month and will allow Seaspension to better meet the equipment needs of the Department of Defense. McCormick Stevenson also will provide Seaspension with engineering support on an as-needed basis.
McCormick Stevenson (www.mccst.com) was founded in 1999 and provides product engineering and design services to the defense, aerospace and commercial markets. The firm has worked with Department of Defense prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, ATK Missile Systems and L-3 Communications. They are also experts in the generation of MIL-STD compliant documentation.
“We provide structural and dynamic analysis services that not only gauge survivability, but also allow for optimization of the design to exceed the requirements yet minimize the costs,” said Vice President Paul Stevenson.
Peter Burer of Largo, Fla. developed the Seaspension system in 2000. Its innovative design virtually eliminates the discomfort and fatigue associated with a day on the water. Seaspension pedestals are designed to retrofit to traditional boat seats, bench seats, bolsters, leaning posts and captain’s chairs. The product is made of stainless steel and TIG welded aluminum, with a heavy-duty base casting and velocity-sensitive dampers. The product retails for $796.00 per pedestal.

Seaspension Invites You to Sit Down & Enjoy the Ride
LARGO, Fla., June 2006 - After years of outfitting vessels in the Canadian Coast Guard, marine law enforcement, as well as providing local sports fishermen, captains and recreational boaters with its patented shock-absorbing product, Seaspension Technologies Inc., is splashing into the retail market.
Inventor Peter Burer has spent six years perfecting the design of the Seaspension system, shock-absorbent pedestals that provide all levels of boaters with additional comfort and safety. Burer, an avid boater himself, says he has spent a lot of time getting beat up on the water and decided to come up with a way to offer a smoother ride.
The result: a system that reduces boating fatigue, absorbs pounding and is designed to bolt directly to a boat’s existing universal slider or spider/slider combination. This allows boaters to keep their existing seats and hardware.
“The product helps alleviate knee, back and neck pain for boaters who spend even the slightest amount of time in rough waters,” Burer said. “The best part about the product is that it makes boating easier and more enjoyable.”
Seaspension has entered the retail market with multiple products, designed to retrofit to traditional boat seats, bench seats, bolsters, leaning posts and captain’s chairs. The product is made of stainless steel and TIG welded aluminum with a heavy-duty base casting and velocity-sensitive internal valves. The product currently retails for $796 per pedestal.
