Ok so i almost never have to use my tabs, and sounds like I still will not have to. But they all came with the big K plane tabs. but noone ever has to use them.
How about trim? cruse speed and WOT? where you guys like it?
prop blow out?

I just tap the trim 1 or 2 times at 3000 rpm its arbitrary but maybe about a 2.5 or 3 on my trim indicator. Tabs flat with running surface or 1 inch above. Thats good for 52-55 depending on where she settles down, fuel, conditions, people.

You shouldn't trim until you're on plane anyway. In my experience larger Bajas from the turn of the century era tend not to like a ton of trim. They will start to porpoise. Somewhere around 03-05 Baja played with the drive heights with several models. So there are lots of factors; year, weight, drive height, 4 blade, 3 blade, how many blondes, brunettes, etc, etc.
I run my tabs level 99.99% of the time. I'll drop them a bit if it's really sloppy out. I'll sink them if I'm trying to stay on plane at 10 MPH. Just apply them slowly to see how the boat reacts.
10 minutes of seat time and you'll know how your new boat likes to be driven
