Add a blower or more Cubic inches.
There was a 272 down in Jacksonville at a poker run we did severla times and he ran a solid 80 MPH and the boat looked totally stock. He had a carbed big block making around 650 HP and he could drive it.

Cheapest way,,,,, buy a complete motor and sell your complete motor !!!!!
Anything else will cost you 5k+

I used to trim my 272 out till the center " tail " or rooster was just breaking the surface,,,, that seemed to be the fastest on my setup.

if you don't mind with stock power, what will i notice?
I have allways heard you can bump tabs down a little and it will lift the ass end up and pick up a mph or two, i know my stock ones do not do that. and i NEVER use them.
So please explain whawt you think this will do for me iin more detail if you can.

I dont believe they will give you any more speed,,,, its still drag,,,,, but the angle will be less and wont be gouging the water like the shorter tabs to be effective.
