Question PQ 257 trim rabs

I am a new owner of a powerquest 257 legend with a 502 efi. I purchased the boat used and in sad shape. Was missing outdrive and needed all new transom assembly. Well anyways, all the work is now done and i took the beast on her "maiden" voyage. Everything is great with this boat except the fact it could use some trim tabs for leveling purposes only. Anyone have any suggestions on what tabs to run on this model? Thanks in advance!!

Is the battery mounted on the low or high side? I moved my battery and put a tool box on the high side to help level my 260. My high side was the starboard side which is common.

If you plan on keeping it a while I'd go with k-planes... or Eddie marine has a k-plane style alternative that you can color match, they are pretty sweet. Either option are much more sturdy and have better indicators
