Trim tabs

Trim Tabs : The single best addition to greatly improve your boats performance .

If you don’t have them on your V you’re missing out.

Bennett brand or Lenco doesn’t matter .

Once you have them you’ll be “ wowed “

Had them on the boat when I bought it. One shock rusted off last year so I removed them. Noticed no difference. Friend I bought boat from said the same when he installed them

Well …..you’re the ONLY person who I’ve known to claim no difference with tabs so I’m guessing :

1. You and friend boat on a pond with no waves
2. Didn’t know how to use them
3. Had maybe 500 lbs of ballast in cuddy.

I’m an ocean fisherman, had the V21 for maybe 8 years ( plus 4 other boats prior ) and I can ABSOLUTELY report :
A. Without tabs the V is a fair riding boat at best - and will pound away on 2’ seas or more.
B. With proper tabs and use, the cutting edge of bow kept down low enough to SLICE the waves, without pounding at cruise speed.

And….why do you think most fishing boats come equipped with trim tabs ?
Ok but whatever, maybe for you it was different

Never had them and see no need for them but I would think that it might improve the ride but not enough t to justify drilling holes in the transom.
Me? I see birds,fire her up and go they don’t help when drifting only driving. M6 baby is a great riding boat. @
1978 wellcraft V20. No need to improve my ride. Just one other thing to go bad.
Now before you reply. I feel. For some people sure they are good but for me? Don’t need it

More smart comments from green because someone had a different opinion.

Smart thanks .

Doesn’t matter to me if you don’t. Whatever - enjoy your boat without an outboard .
That’s would also surprise me but whatever
