dose any one other then me think it's strange that 2 of the drives a cast patent pending? kind first gen! or that the 3 props are the exact same size and pitch as the 18ft twin disk test boat? the extra ball is still in a cloth bank bag like the ones banks move cash in like the guy told me...
may not be any thing but odd
I buy 6 drives knowing nothing about the surface drive system and get the right set up for an 18 with the correct props.....
there all new!!!!

All I know about tabs is that them tab's on "Phil's boats" or the big long tabs look cool as he!!.. I mean just wicked.. the only point i can see to adding a such a larger tab to such a small boat other then the slickness factor is to make the boat act as a larger craft..... I know of much larger heaver off shore boats with smaller tabs, so you can trim a big boat with a smaller tab but more of the bottom is on plain due to how heavy a large boat is so there more water to trim..... if the boat is not heavy it may lift out of the water.... so the dead rise of the hull moves the smaller tab's out of the water at hi speed?? the longer tabs may be so they can still make contact with the water or a larger surface can make contact toward the end of the tab.... or they look cooler.. I have no idea.. have not looked in to it yet...
