i have a manta 32’ cc. Installing a pair of new verado 350s. I Plan to carry 22 or 24 ppl as well and beer and supply’s in the bow cuddly to my island resort in colombia about an hour and a half ride each way.
My boat has offshore tabs. What position should I run the tabs to help get it on plane. The verados comes with 16” 19P props. Do you think I should run. A 17 pitch to help get it on plane? Thx in advance for your input, RM

Charlie McCarthy showed me how to get my 35 mistress on plane much more easily by putting in a turn and laying the hull on its side. They got the old offshore boats on plane with mechanical FI with zero bottom end tq and tons of fuel in them

I’m adding two hundred hp and a bunch of tq over 250 2t engines. I don’t think it will be that hard looking for advice on tab position and prop pitch

These are everywhere........
Twin Yammies or sometimes Honda's, marine ply, 10 degrees deadrise, 38' long, carry 40 desparate squawking tourists, and you tow them behind a 2.5 liter Hilux on a classy trailer........
