Trim tabs

[bgreene]

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
