I also plan on getting the membership from west marine, figure it's a safe bet and I'll be thankful if i ever need to use their services. Is going through west marine my best bet for this?
Thanks again!

Tabs are goin to balance the hull out. Basically if everyone is sittin in the back you can hammer the tabs down to get you up on a plane better. Also works the same way if ol hefty Uncle Ricky decides to park his 300#'s on starboard you can compensate by tabbin the left side down so the hull doesnt list as bad. Also will help you out on fuel economy drastically.
Lenco's are electric. Bennets are hydraulic
