Default Trim tabs

Hope someone can help me, looking to put bigger tabs on my 25 outlaw, I think the factory ones are a joke, however, I would like to use the everything I have and just add bigger tabs, I've checked insta trims web site and they have bigger tabs that will replace my current ones but I dont get there pricing, if someone has a set of ( 12x16 heavy duty ) for sale I would be interested, or how I can buy just the tabs...

Thanks

Default Tab extension

I have Bennett 12x12 sport tabs and like u wanted 12x16 and didnt lke the pricing. So i cut 2 pieces. Of 3/8" alum. And bolted them to the bottom. Mine works. Great but u habe to make sure the leading edge does mot go below the bottom plain of your boat. I think in your case you can bolt them to the top of yor plates amd use longer. Bolts to mount your cylinders

Thanks for the input hammer, just don't think that's something I would want to tackle, I have heard that works pretty good, just don't like the look of it!

I think after pricing these tabs it might be the way to go, can't believe what they are asking for on those! I can buy a complete set of bennets/lenco for that much!
