[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 253047, member: 3438"] You will need to make sure your motor is raised high enough that the "tail" is out of the water while on plane. If not, it will keep pushing the bow down, causing plowing and handling problems. I use smart tabs on a couple of my boats. These are more expensive, but can be adjusted seperatly from tilt/trim. FWIW: In heavy seas I generally trim out to raise the bow to reduce the chance of a wave coming over or stuffing the bow. [/QUOTE]
