Yea we were running it loose for fun / speed....For some odd reason that boat doesn't respond to the tabs ( 380 )... when ever you would like to fo out and play in the ruff which is what these boats like let me know...we are also miami boys .......

I watched you run for a while- sweet ride!!!!
From my angle it looked like your motors may be mounted too low?
Thrust didn't look like it was going forward- more angled down (nosecone at say 8 o'clock when looking at a clock)
What happens at the stern the bow must react which is why you have bow rise. Tabs are kind of counter-acting the thrust so they don't cause/effect like they should.
Raising motors should put thrust higher and level which should equal more speed and smoother ride.
ps- I am far, far, far from a boat setup expert so tossing that out more for discussion; not suggestion..

but when you raise then, if you raise them check your water pressure becuase you dont have low water pick-ups and next thing you know you will be replacing impellors like crazy and might burn up the motors..... so be careful......higher = faster.......
