I removed the "doel-fins" on my boat....

I hope to see a better handing/planing boat now.

taking bets?

May not plane any faster, but it will certainly handle better I am sure.

Some Smart Tabs will make a huge difference with planing and handling both.​

I plan on adding those, but the boat fund has got to replenish some at the moment...lol

Look at the new ST composite tabs. They are less expensive and you will be soooooo glad you added them to your boat.​

When used correctly and for the right reasons, the fins can work without creating other problems. It's just that very few people use them for the right reason.

Verdict....

Boat planes ALOT faster and much better......MUCH

Speed seems to be higher. Will confirm this week with GPS

however boat doesnt seem to handle as good in higher speed tighter turns....and bow seems to stay up in air at lower speeds more....

I think ill leave them off until i get the smart tabs.

Great!

I am going with 3.7 MPH better . . .

Are you trimming in for harder turns?

and bow seems to stay up in air at lower speeds more....

Expected. Tabs will fix that in what you will find to be a very secure feeling condition. Low speed with trim tabs in the down position has to be experienced to understand

I think ill leave them off

If you put that thing back on I will hunt you down and . . . More fun ahead for you. Awesome!
