Default Splashed The Tabs Today!!...

If you don't have 'em and are considering adding trim-tabs, just go ahead and do it...as great as these hulls are, tabs added big time to the ride and stability...first thing we did was ride several miles at about 30 mph into a good chop kicked up overnite by about 20 mph over long fetch...normally would a be tolerable but bumpy ride...tabs down, bow into that chop and SMOOTH is the best way to describe it...lateral stability big increase too...whole new and much improved "V" experience...

So it definitely stops the "move this over here, you sit over there, OK don't get up and move"?
Good goin' reel!

So when we are riding together and I have a super model or two in my lap on the port side you can adjust it so we will be even riding right?
