Josh, I think that you must consider the length and weight of your boat and the severity of any problem you might be trying to correct. Correcting the angle of attack of the boat becomes a balance of forces between the tabs and the lever (your boat) that must be lifted. The longer the boat, the longer the planing surface, the greater the force required to change the angle. Your boat is heavier glass and mine is lighter aluminum, but yours is 6' shorter. I used Smart Tabs cylinders with other tabs that have a larger surface area (12" x 12"), expecting greater efficiency and less drag with larger tabs. The correct force applied by the cylinders I expect to remain the same. I found that the 60 lb actuators were adequate, perhaps even on the strong side. I think that the 40 lb actuators would be the right choice for your boat. - Grandad
