Hi:
I have a 1996 2002 Trophy that I re-powered last year with a 150 HP Yamaha 2 stroke. I'm relatively new to the boat and I fish Lake of The Woods located in northern Minnesota up by Canada with it. The water on LOTW can really get rough and typically your fishing in 4-5' swells and last year I really got tossed around. I was talking to some one at work and he strongly suggested putting trim tabs on the boat to get the nose down when I'm underway. I have been researching this area a lot and find opinions either way if tabs will help or not being tabs are a significant investment I thought I might get someone else opinion. also I do a lot of drift fishing pulling spinners with a drift sock, any suggestions on make it more stable in the water? I see lower profile boats and they don't get thrown around near as much as mine does.
