I have them. They help get the boat on plane quicker, provide stability from Port to Stbd.

Notice much difference when cutting through 2' chop by keeping the bow down ?

I put Bennett M120 Sport Tabs on my V20 and love them. Quicker to plane, can plane at lower speeds, higher top end, side to side levelling, and greatly improves the ride through any kind of chop or wave activity.

That's nice - what are you saying - that you just picked a set up to install on your rig ?

If that's it - congrats, and let me know how it rides..

Yep going on this fall ready for next year. I had issues on the coast this summer ( all my fault ) with my ice-cooler shifting around in rough seas. I didn't like the feeling of it sitting on her side going into 6'ers on 4' swell. the V handled it but it would have been sweeter if I 1- would have tied it down and or 2- had trim tabs. That and I'm woundering about the ride and fuel milage myself. If it can get better than it already is I'm all for it!!!
