I have always felt that I had to trim more than I wanted to but I do the same Trim till speedo stops climbing
How far ?? My trim guage said 1/2 sooo :cool:

Heh,

That's where I end up as well. Right at half trim. Boat feels nice and light - I love that feeling of skimming across the water. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't over trimming.

My boat is solid to 70 .. If no cross wind 75 Anything above 75 no boat in the water is cool :-()
If I get a cross wind or hell if I know holding my cheek wrong it will start to chin walk and it can get interesting if you dont trim back down!. Makes for a great thrill :ernaehrung004:

Haha, this is great to hear. Do you use your tabs to stabilize when the boat starts to walk? Sometimes on the bay, it's calm but there are underlying rollers that can start to upset the boat's balance above 70. Wondering if tabs would help this.

My boat has no tabs .. Just throttle and trim .. And a loose "NUT" behind the wheel :p

i drop my tabs to 2 on gauge when she is at half trim and wfo
with myself and the wife






:cool:

I had someone a while back say that with the large aluminum tabs that it made the boat take rough water like a boat 2 or 3 feet longer

I hope so, I have my eye on a set of Imco tabs for the beast. I'd like some more rough water capability to be quite honest. You should see all the stuff that has broken or come loose on the boat since I got it - heh!

Let me know how it goes for you. I have been wondering for a while.

You guys wont be disappointed at all with the investment of a good set of tabs.I don't know if it's standard equipment with a new set of trim tabs but definitly spring for the guages as well.You'll be happy you did.

When the water starts to get up to 3 foot chop I'll tab down 3/4 of the guage and it's like riding on a rail road,can't feel any bumps but it does slow the boat down somewhat.
