Tab location
Hi! I have the 202 stinger on this forum that trying for 100 mph with a small block.In my opinion I would mount them back where the bennets were. These boats when running tend to have the chines out of the water. so sometimes your tabs would have no effect . Put them down where the bennets were they will be in the water at all times and you will have better control. JUST mu 2CENTS. JOHN SR

G'day Chris,
They need to go where the Bennets were. When over 58mph, you'll be sitting up in the center pad and your balance will be at those first two chines you point at at 1:55. You want for your tabs to sit you up out of the water and then create as minimal drag as possible at speed so you put them where they'll be able to touch and effect, but not drag. Long story short: you want the inner edges inline with where your bennet tabs were. There's plenty of room on the inside to run the lines and brackets there too. If you try and put them out further, they'll be in the step gaps and you'll have to work through the inspection cover openings.
Good luck, let me know if you need any more info or pics etc.
