I have a Maxum 1800 SR3 with 4.3L Mercruiser, Alpha One drive.
Swapped standard prop to a High 5 .. giving better holeshot, but very bad bow rise, can only see sky !
Minimum planing speed is also quite high at 20mph.
My thought was to fit a Hydrofoil (Stingray XPII) ... but suggestion is that I double the spend and go for SMART Tabs.
I researched some of the posts here - and know there are fans of this product.
I guess I'm looking for help on the decision ...
Looking at Smart Tabs web site - the Smart Tab SX would seem the logical choice, how good are these compared to Smart tabs ?
Performance improvement for spend - are Smart Tabs at twice the price going to be twice as good as a Hydrofoil ?
Anybody any experience of use of these (and fitting them ) on a Maxum ?
Boat is used for skiing, tubing, kneebaording etc.
