Partial tab seems to help there but full tab down is a crazy looking mess of water being thrown up everywhere. LOL... Enjoy and don't forget the pics.

Purpose of installing the tabs as you'd expect is to reduce the pounding when running in a 2-3' chop. Tabs worked well on my previous Mako CC so I'm hopeful to experience the same with the V. Got me wondering regarding comment about plowing and wet ride.
I know these boats have the reputation for plowing when running with the seas, so tabs up in that situation. We'll see. I'm mostly an ocean fisherman so lots of different sea conditions experienced. If I ultimately don't like the ride...... I'll get boat # 5..... maybe a 23 SeaCraft Septre....
