I always trim motor all the way down before going to the tabs. Then adjust till i feel good, my tabs will change my ride in a count of 1, so i have to be careful! But once in the right spot they are great !

Yeah, Joe...tabs are a whole 'nother issue...I was returning Rob and his crew up the ICW into a stiff wind the other day...it kicked up a pretty good chop we were headed into...motor down helped, but tabs woulda put the sharp end INTO the chop and helped a LOT!!...

I hang around some fast watercraft at times. They skim along trimmed to get the maximum ammount of boat out of the water. The faster they go the less wake they produce. Chine spray moves further back as the speed increases and the bow starts to rise. If you have anything dragging it will throw up some spray around the motor, you know things like that.
If you had to leave your trim at a preset level I would start with it tucked and work my way up until it did something I didn't like then drop back (same procedure as previously mentioned with power trim).
Ambush, nice looking rig.
