Thanks for the info guys I will run way less if any tabs, as i was getting bow steer and at 60+mph bow steer with the slack in the steering I wasn't to comfortable! I did have a very calm day and had it running 67mph gps and had more to go I see no problem with this boat getting to 70mph! Me and wife 2 kids half tank of gas probably 4700-4800rpms
Too much tab tab / bow steer will make the steering feel even worse than it is.

Its like a different boat, did a 130 mile run last weekend was so much more stable and much less side to side rocking that I used to get if running with other boats in there wakes. Highly recommended upgrade.

Great to hear you really saw a big difference! So are K-Planes next on the list??!

IMO these 292's should not leave the factory without hydraulic steering and K-Planes...

Depends, if I decide to keep it a while I might repower this winter. Would probably do them even thought I hardly ever use my tabs while running. And yes part of the reason this boat is not highly regarded by some is that they (Formula) cheaped out on a few things. The guy who did mine could not believe how much play I had, and there was nothing worn it was always like that. I should not have accepted the boat but I honestly did not know any better at the time.
