Yeah left to right would be ok, I'm guessing but front to rear, nooooooo.

I agree with TM51. However the only crafts that I was ever on in deep water were either crew boats, barges or the occasional sailing vessel with up to a 3,500 lb keel.
The way I looked at if you can't stand the motion of the ocean buy yourself a mini van and take the kids to Disney world.

It uses the motion of the liquid to reduce roll, demonstrating the failure of the baffled system to do so. Rather akin to the self balancing dodads fitted to car wheels and grinding wheels. The strategy is not specifically to remove the baffles but to reduce roll.
