Well I for one can tell you they work well on my 21. Coming back from a speckled trout fish about 12 miles from launch site yesterday the wind had picked up and the tide was against it. The Chesapeake Bay was 2-3 ft chop. using the tabs to keep the nose down while finding the right speed to run they worked perfectly. No pounding & much smoother. This was heading into them. Of course in a following sea I wouldn't use them at all. I had Lenco's installed on the V20 I restored with the hardtop and I found myself using the tabs quite often, especially when the boat would list to one side due to a cross wind. I never installed them on my 1rst pristine 21 because I didn't want to drill any holes in the boat it was so nice. BUT, Begreen had already installed the Bennett's on this boat so all good. For the record I would have installed Lenco's but whatcha gonna do!
