[QUOTE="Rich27028, post: 284596, member: 10050"] the point is - you need the weight added to the bow after you get the boat up on plan-- not before - you want the front to rise and climb upon the top of the water - then as you trim up the motor the bow will be pushed down and the steern will rise to met it -at that point your level and on top of the water - as chop increases or you experience porpoising you back off the trim until the boat settles down and rides smooth- my motor is mounted at the right height - full down trim and the cav plate is with in 1/2 in level with bottom of boat - im used to a center consul flats boat - runs super fast - and runs in real skinny water- CVA- do you have any idea what a set of Bennet trim tabs cost-?? - good idea but i cant afford it wrong trim boat squilly and wanders - wrong trim boat wants to switch ends - not good -makes wifie grouchie -- [/QUOTE]
