This should result in more efficient speed in rough water conditions than if you were keeping the drive trimmed in to control the attitude of the boat.
That it does!
Drive level, touch of tab.

Have also run a very fast 24 Progression with the same setup, as well as a 21 Challenger. Wouldnt want anything less.
I wonder what Progression 24 you might be talking about here? Maybe the exact same colors as mine? I've driven it and love the longer tabs!

That it is. Along with two 27s with 380s that needed them.
I also have a friend with a 22 and 300xs who recently installed 380s and LOVES them.
