why does my mistress not have tabs or planes.. beleive it came like this from factory.
doesnt seem to need them either but never seen another one without

????????

I'm guessing someone took them off to replace them but never took the time to put them back on, then sold the boat.

Should have them, I only used mine for list conditions side to side, never needed them otherwise.

Correct, the Mistress was the most balanced, best designed hull that I have owned. Doesn't need a lot of driver input. Just runs right.

I have had Top Gun, Cafe, Mistress, Playboy FYI, as well as Sonic, Checkmate, Scarab, Hydrostream, Spectre Mini 13

That's a great compliment to the 35' cig hull ...length for length maybe the best?

I agree with Cigrocket, I have been on nearly every brand and many lengths, the Mistress has the best COG of any of them, look where the bolsters are, the boats fly level like a stepped hull, keeps nose down more but goes through anything, the con is riding "wet" makes them slow, but very capable, I love that my Gun is close to the same but lifts the nose more, not bad and bouncy like a notched gun with TRS or Bravo, but having no notch and SSM its bad azz.

I think the mistress is the perfectly balanced boat, Don even said that was the best hull they ever made for them reasons.

my Mistress decent water using ZERO tab input, the boat was great, if it had SSM I probably would have kept it...
