Yes i had the nauticus with the clip to hold them up....so much for "automatic"
You gotta remember to clip them up when docking and unclip them when running. I left them up the last half of that season.
I know a lot of guys here swear by their tabs but I ran my cuddy 18 years (except one with the Nauticus) without tabs. I ran heavy and I had a hardtop that added weight. I had a zuke 4 stroke 140 and before that a Merc 150 2 stroke.
I ran that boat 60 miles to Chicken Canyon, even went 75 to Texas Tower once
I came home the last 30 miles in SW wind and swells that most guys have never run a 20fter in.
I never said "Gee I wish I had tabs". I only got the tabs because everyone here said how much "better" it rode with tabs.
I realize you want to compensate for being underpowered. To me tabs are like dragging your feet in the water. I don't see how they will help you.
