Default Victory Trim Tabs???

I'm looking at upgrading my current Insta Trim Tabs with the new Victory tabs. Looking for some input from some of you that made the switch?? Any gains or improvements VS. cost ??

Thanks

I replaced my k-planes with the ones from Martini. I don't use them much - my boat is bow heavy and doesn't really need them. But the machining was an exact duplicate of what I needed, and they went on without a snag. So as far as fit-n-finish, I rank them very high.

So you have Bender,er I mean bennet tabs on a 230 conquest huh. I bent 5 or six sets of those before I sold that boat. The boat is just too heavy for those folded aluminum sheets in my opinion. I wish the victorys had been around in the early 90's, they would have been on after I bent the second set of bennets.

Airpacker. Mo Bennets on my PQ. It came with Insta Trim tabs. They are the orginals from what I can see. I'v eowned the boat for 3 years with no problems. But I would agree they are pretty thin.

I switched to Victorys & they work awesome - Brian is great to work with - & hell of a nice guy. He custom made me a set for my 32 Sunsation - I highly recomend them.

Brian was certainly a pleasure to work with. He worked with me to get my different bolt pattern worked out for a 27.

They are testing them right now with the dual ram setup. Brian e-mailed me a photo the other day. He also just e-mailed a photo of the single ram less the paint. But sounds like in the next couple weeks they may start manufacturing them for re-sale.
