Rob- I polished up the two shafts here at home. Will go back Monday and finish up the 380's, change plugs, pump up the tires and she should be good to go. I'll take some pics of the low water pickups and the spacing between the tabs, the cleavers and Speedmaster skegs. Sounds like you're boat is flying (and steering) now! Lou

Re: HOW do you zero trim tabs ???
I've heard a lot of tab-zeroing methods and they all have some merit. The one I like is where I'm cruising into some two footers at about 60-65 mph (that's about a million knots for you nautical types) and I close my eyes and fiddle (that's the actually technical term for it I learned in the Navy) with the tabs until I attain the perfect balance between drag and lift and the boat glides across the crests two at a time. It takes some practice.

NOW I know how those boats got split in two hitting trees, bridges, jetties! Officer, I was just cruising along, adjusting my tabs! No offense RJ, you seem like a good sport!
