Can't see why the tabs would be bad.. Bigger = more surface area = better lift of the stern = easier to control boat. If you're really unsure you can give them to me and I'll try them out on my boat for 10 years or so to make sure they will be ok for you to use. As to the 225 on the stern, I have a 225 Johnson on my 78' and the boat flys just fine.. just my .02 cents

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
