Default Let's talk about performance with tabs - again...

Can't get bored discussing V21 ride with trim tabs when you fish big water........

Yesterday, out on Del Bay, the early am was choppy, nothing real rough, but at 34 degree air tamp, chilly too.....

Headed out, into a roughly 2' chop with just a few 3's with trim tabs up.....bang, bang goes the hull.....but not for long.

Behind the wheel, feeding a little tab, then a little more, getting the front hull edge to cut into the waves, no more pounding.....now just a solid ride out,,,,,4,000 rpm....with other small boats falling behind.

Some spray coming up - hitting the windshield and my new top /side curtains, but nice and dry at the helm......comfortable ride all the way. Day became flat later too..

I like it !
