    Just looking a little closer at your pic's. Does your boat have a larger trim tab on the portside and 2 smaller tabs on the starboard side???

    Raybo, he has 4 tabs, each side is identical (I remember another topic talking about the 2 extra tabs - which helps with the axius drives & larger boat)

    The props on the boat are so strange, what kind of gains do you get with them

    LOL!  We all know the same props are used on gassers that have the pod setup as well.  :)

    @j3ff,  not strange, just different...it's the Volvo Penta IPS setup.  The get up on plane quickly , get good good gas mileage and handle well.   Just not a lot of speed, but I can live with that

    Well if you had gassers, you probably would only have to polish every other year, its the diesel fumes getting all over your boat! JK, great looking boat and have a great season!

    @raybo3...the outside tabs are used normally ...the inside ones are not movable, they just lengthen the hull of the boat so it is more efficient.
