I have a 1986 221 islander that rides high in the front. I replaced the 4 banger with a 4.3 v-6.plenty of power now but it is looking at the moon most of the time.i would like to get the nose into the wave so I was thinking either trim tabs or whale tail.i have a set of manual adjust tabs I bought on ebay a while ago for something else but I could use them.or go for a set of adjustable ones.what do u guys think?checed under floor and its dry.

in as far as it will go.- I think the tabs is the way to go.i hear the whale tail works good to.
