my point was you guys putting to much thought in this pilot house, just do it! the v is a very stable and capable boat, and will do well! but forget about the speed and stuff cause the v is a great boat, but its only going to do so much as far as speed.
no mine did not have tabs, but i know they were needed and would have helped, but them were the poor days! the v is great but in a limted way, that we all push!
