Re: Smart Tabs Q with pics.
When I am alone in the boat bowrise is bad but very short I can deal with it, when I have 3 other people on board or trying to tow a tuber with 2 in the boat bowrise is very long and draged out having people move forward helps but is kind of silly due to the size of my boat. I also have a terrible porpoising at higher speeds 30+mph, so bad that it feels like I am going to break my boat when it really gets going. I have lowered my trim in to the 2nd closest hole to the transom so that the top speed I can hit right now is about 32mph and get better hole shot, but I figured with smart tabs I could put the trim to the middle hole or 2nd to last outer hole increase my top speed to 35+mph and still keep a decent hole shot with less bowrise. Having a lower speed on plane as well as a decrease in fuel consumption are always nice things as well. I will take measurments tomorrow going from the center of the transom outwards, I am pretty sure I have 10 inches to play with or it will be very close, depends on the size of the trim tabs. If I get them I will get the smart tabs SX version as I prefer them to the stainless. For the stainless it lists the size as 9"x8" but doesn't list the size for the SX, I assume they are the same size. Is it 9" long and 8" wide?
Thanks again for all your help.
