Best ride in choppy conditions

[bgreene]

So when the ocean is around 2’ + while caps etc in a head sea, and I want to cover distance .I typically run mostly full tabs down, engine down .

Result .....Bow stays down cutting through the waves and I can power up without pounding.
Burns quite a bit more fuel but no matter.
I assume most everyone does same so just chatting here .

Surprisingly .....some on all kinds of boats don’t use their tabs and trim to best advantage.
