Out Christmas Day. Cloudy but warm, Still a great day.

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Chritmas to you to Jim!

how does your tunnel tab perform??? you happy with it??? I have seen a few 28's with them.

What the heck is a tunnel tab?

It helps get on plane, it stops the hop if you want to go 55- 65, and at wide open a little negative will add to the top speed.

Got it, looks good thanks. I'm looking for better big water characteristics, originally our ride had a large static tunnel extension with trim tabs mounted inside the step but was removed and lost over the years. I have a set of 3-4ft long trim tabs (maybe cut them down) that I'm thinking mounting on rear of the boat (reduce drag) 1/2 inch above the bottom and have a new static extension built. Just not certain if the added weight can be justified...

never really thought of the tab adding speed...kinda like a tunnel extension i suppose?!? I have read and been told its not such a good thing to have one. I know it can be bad to leave it down and turn and at high speeds it can cause a stuff. being able to cruise at slower speeds with out the hop would be nice though.

You are correct, Once you start to move fast you need to pull it up to level. We have the indicator marked at level

yea... i noticed the indicator next to the trim, that's why I asked you about liking it. did you add that or was it on the boat already??? (the tab)

28's hook turns, never seen a tab on a 28'. Little negative picked up speed,,, bigger boats do run dynamic extensions, thanks.

I've had one on both of my 28's. and a 24'

Nice; when is OSS running MO?

Skater installed it originally, I like the tab, it gives more control. It is used most on flat calm water. It is also a great swim step. New Christmas present, lime green LED.

The girls call it the "Pee Plate".

thinking of adding a tunnel tab when I re-rig guess it's a must now LOL.

your new ride gonna have the tunnel extension??? if so hope it's not used like the tab was :lolhit:

LED lights should look great!!!

It's has a Bussel with built in borading ladder which I guess will take over the auxiliary function of the former K plane. It gets an adjustable tab/flap which is under the bussel. Probably like Louie's.

your bussel cover the tunnel extension if it has one???

do you have a build thread here that I've missed??? love to see it. Yours may have been already started at the factory when I went up to to check on mine in late July????

New Budulli wheel.

i like that wheel!!!! Nice. Are those genuine skater bucket seats????

Yes they are reskinned by PPI in Sarasota.

I do have genuine skater high backs already they're just the 1992 style :lolhit:

I have looked at others for my re-rig but just keep coming back the skaters
