Tunnel Tab
I just bought a 2002 38' Ocean Express. I don't have any seat time it but I was told from the previous owner that the boat porpuses at 70-85 then it will push through once you get over that speed.
I plan on repowering the boat. It has 572/750hp motors with ASD-8 Arnesons. The boat doesn't have trim cylinders and I also was told to add them as well.
I am going to push the motors to 900hp's
I appreciate you help and any advice you could give me on this boat.. New beast for me but very excited about it!!
Thanks in advance

I don't know anything about the OE brand, but I would avoid a tunnel tab like the plague
There is a reason that most mfg.'s do not put them on a pleasure boat. If you forget that its down or the trim indicator malfunctions in a turn, you WILL get wet.
Then we'll have a 15 page thread with everyone whining about insurance rates, bullet proof life vests, and kill switches

The menace did answer me. Thanks. I am so excited about it . I can't wait until we get some good weather. I wanted to put it in about a weekago. The plan was good but the snow hindered the launch... Someone was looking out for me to tell me I should stay working and save some money for fuel next year!! Instead of playing in the cold now..
I don't think the tunnel tab will happen "menace" told me about the rolo's. The previous owner told me the same thing when they bought it. So I guess I will be getting some rolo's under the tree this year....
Thanks and look forward to New era of the 'Cat" world
