Can't say enough about it, so enough said!

Rides like a hull should. BEST investment after the t-top!

Actually would appreciate and enjoy some very specific feedback on ride characteristics with tabs: ( never mind the fin, I don't need that one )

Such as...... I know the boat can tend to pound in 2'-3' chop at most planning speed so when you put the bow down with the tabs, what's the sensation ?
Less pound, no pound ?
More spray in the boat I assume ?
Any more difficult to steer with the bow cutting down into the chop ?
Increase in fuel consumption is of course likely, as is decreased speed.

For guys like me who are considering tabs, specifics.........like boat performance test results will be quite helpful.

Thanks
